Oprah pushes Kinect, audience explodes

Unfortunately, they didn't literally explode.



Will this tactic prompt soccer moms across the country to run out and pick up a Kinect (and, presumably, an Xbox 360) when the peripheral hits store shelves on Nov. 4? I highly doubt it, but you never know--the Power of OprahTM has helped sell stinkier turds in the past.

(By the way, a better version of the video above can be viewed here.)

Oh boy. Just what we need, more reasons for developers to make "casual" games. SHOVELWARE ALERT!

Yeah, you could be right. That said, I really don't see Kinect being as popular with the soccer mom set as Microsoft thinks it will be...

Haha, this was unexpected! Surreal in a way, really.

Surreal is a good word to describe this and pretty much any other such video, Zigfried. The ladies that make up her audience will go crazy over ANYTHING, I tell you. I'll bet you could give them all a free Happy Meal and they'd rip each other's arms off (cue SNL clip)...
