Video Description

👇🏻GLOSSARY👇🏻 Film summary, chapters, gear list, and socials BELOW. 🎬FILM SUMMARY 🎬 The Kinect was Microsoft's attempt at taking some market share away from the Wii. Nintendo was very successful in their (imperfect) implementation of motion controls, surpassing both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in sales. Microsoft targeted that market with a solution that turned the player into the controller. This venture turned out to be an instant success that fell from grace a few years later. 🔎SOURCES🔍 1.
