Pachter: Kinect needs hardcore gamers to succeed

Posted on Wednesday, 27 October 2010 by Speed, source: IndustryGamers
Wedbush Morgan industry analyst Michael Pachter has stood up and said: if Kinect wants to succeed, it needs core gamers!
"I think that Kinect is going to be successful, and in order for it to succeed, the core gamer has to buy it," the Wedbush analyst told IndustryGamers. "I don't see housewives who watch Oprah rushing out and buying Kinect to play games (with the sole exception of Dance Central, my game of the year). I think that if the core gamer in the household buys the peripheral, the Oprah housewives will occasionally play games like Dance Central, and may be less intimidated by the controls over time, allowing them to use the 360 for its other features."
If Pachter is right, then I would say: "Too bad MS, better luck next time!"

Does anyone seriously think hardcore X360 gamers are waiting for party games? Or has the definition of "hardcore gamer" changed over the years so that it now means "your granny who plays Wii Fit"?

Oh, and for those that think Microsoft is targeting the hardcore gaming crowd, just watch below:

Seems like Dance Central is the best Kinect has to offer. Looks like gay males will have a reason to buy Kinect. Congrats Microsoft, your Kinect appeals mainly to gay males.

This is exactly why Kinect will succeed, target market is casual gamers for now. The core games can come later. Hardcore gamers use controllers primarily, that is why MS will provide a hybrid solution for them to use both Kinect and controllers.
