I would say they did recover from that debacle. Sony was playing catch up halfway through that generation. Yes, they had a slight lead over Xbox, but Xbox 360s were still popular then even with the closing gap. Kinect for Xbox 360 was a short term success. 10 million sold on day 1 is nothing to overlook.
I don't think so. I believe it was a fad from the Wii days. XB1's Kinect had Dance Central, Kinect Sports Rivals, a sequel to Fruit Ninja Kinect, a puzzle game... that's it. Nobody was using it after MS and other developers left it be. At least with PSMove, that is STILL being used for PSVR.
Same issue as the Kinect. Nobody has the space to use it properly. Too expensive to risk a full product on it.
Yet Kinect was still a shit business strategy by Micro themselves, especially when copying the Wii formula

I agree with all of your post but I have to question this part. RRoD hit consoles at launch until the solder issue was fixed. Despite the launch problems, xbox 360 still sold loads, quadrupled MS' market share in the console space and had some truly amazing games.
They did recover from RRoD and went on to thrive...then shit the bed in 2010 and never recovered from chasing the grandma, gamergrrrl, normiefag crowd.

you can use VR seated.... and if anyone doesn't have the space for that I have to wonder how they play vidya in the first place.
you also need failed products to be iterated on and see what works and what doesn't. besides that VR was never about "replacing" pancake gaming (and won't until we go full dive), only dumbfucks (facebook included) ever thought that.
don't forget the ps3 came out a year later than the xbox 360, if you wanted a "next gen" console, it was the only option.
patents don't mean much, they mainly exists so companies can go "we had the idea first, pay up motherfucker". just look at what stuff gets patented and how little gets put into a product.

The news is so fuckin' fake these days, gaming journo outlets can't even tell the truth about video game releases

Wouldn't it be great if any time a journo put out a lie, their hands would be smashed with a hammer? STALKER 2 isn't first party.

Didn't the leaks from the whole buying Activision Blizzard situation reveal that the game is console exclusive for 1 year only, which means you can bet in 12 months its coming out on Ps5 and maybe the switch if they actually want to go through the effort of downgrading the game to run on it.
Then again that all depends on if the game ever comes out, every time they give it a release date, they end up pushing it back. It doesn't help that a beta build got leaked a couple of months back. Which is a shame as I am a fan of the stalker series.
This is why I fucking despise journos with a fiery passion. They are getting paid hard time for reporting a lie and gossiping it as well

The developer direct was today.
Indiana Jones is first person.......why....
Also, don't expect Indiana Jones to be good if this is who is making it.

Avowed and Indy look like flatscreen mods of VR games. Both look boring as fuck and I was hopeful for Avowed.
Microsoft should leave the industry for the good of the industry, they've been poison for 14 years.

Indiana Jones, why did they cast Troy Baker. It's off-putting hearing his voice come out of Harrison Ford's face.
The switch from 1st to 3rd person looks really off-putting. Overall, the game looked very slow. It's like they knew the game really should have been 3rd person but didn't have the knowledge to make one, so just back to 1st person gameplay they are comfortable with.

Late as fuck, but they took 5 years to put a game from a studio they own on their service and expect people to be impressed.
20 seconds in and we already have 2 letter soup individuals plastered on the screen.
Hellblade 2 finally got a date, but after the amazing display of deadlines on the past 2 years I have my doubts.

A lot of soydevs during the presentation but I have to admit, the new Indiana Jones game looks pretty good. The first-person view is a weird decision but I just hope that there's no x-ray vision.
I knew he sounded a lot like Troy Baker...

MachineGames did the Wolfenstein reboot. I think first person is a good fit for that game. What I'm worried about is them collaborating with Arkane Lyon again. The last two Wolfenstein games were both dogshit because Arkane had their filthy brown hands all over them.
Avowed looks like shit. No surprise there. It's actually kind of funny that every character in the NPC interactions they showed was voiced by a black person. I can't wait for that game to come out so I can look through the voice actor credits.
I'm glad Microsoft did this to remind everyone not to invest in their products. Hopefully the Nintendo Direct will come soon and we will see some real games.

They also fucked themselves with TNC all on their lonesome. It's been a decade since they've put out anything worth playing. Arkane might be stinky poos but MachineGames is cancer in their own right.
