I liked the kinect. And it's sad that there will probably never be such a motion controlled device again. Maybe VR come to replace it, but it's still not as accessible.
The funny thing about the kinect sensor is that it can be repurposed as a VR tracking tower in a not that fucky roundabout wack tech way on some HMD's.
Funny thing is, the Kinect is really good, people have used it on PC to help with animations, it was a cheap motion tracker that was worth the cost. the issue is, game companies either did not utilize what it could do, or just wanted to be lazy
Amen. Stupid rumors about it being bad. By stupid people that didn't set it up right. Right height, lighting and distance. And ofc, use the calibration. It never missed who was stepping in front of it for me. And best mic for playing Halo reach. ;) wireless. So much more positive to say
This is the best and pobably the only documentary I'd watch on the subject. Thanks for explaining the history behind why PlayStations outsold Xbox (I'm a PC gamer)
For who don't know about PS2 EyeToy the EyeToy was PS2's Kinect but no one knows about it unfortunately but it was the first newmover in market during 6th generation of consoles.
Paprika rides the algorithm pretty well on some vids actually, just not into the absurd billions of views since his content still is pretty niche (his audience aligns with people like JonTron, NakeyJakey, videogamedunkey, Scott The Woz, etc.)
We had kinect at our kindergarten and because it was only videogame we could play it was fantastic to us back then. Then we got internet and saw there were hell lotta better stuff even back than.
Xbox One’s reveal is ironically the worst of all time and somehow is the most forgotten. Every Xbox One owner I knew didn’t even know about the reveal and even today no one understands why I refuse to buy an Xbox.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Guess it's time to go binge all your videos. Keep up the great work man, you have some of the best comedic timing I've seen on TH-cam, and you manage to do the over the top wild editing style without it getting annoying. See you at 1 mil 🙌
the amount of time and care you put into these is astronomical. you deserve every bit of success. keep grinding, the algorithm will bless you one day. my only suggestion is look at your thumbnail and titles. this title is great for your current subscribers, but i don't think it makes someone who has never clicked on your videos click on it. there's courses or even free info out there about making better thumbnails and titles. my own go at it so i'm not all smoke is something like: KINECTING the Dots | how XBOX fell upwards i'm not at all a thumbnail or title expert, but as someone who watches a lot of youtube the current title doesn't exactly grab my attention for the masterpiece of a video this is
Thanks for taking the time to write this - i definitely need to get way better at Titles and Thumbnails and I like your ideas. My brain just doesn't have that innate understanding of how to get people to click, so will definitely need to do some research. Thanks!
@@Paprika_Gaming My brother in christ it's honestly refreshing seeing your videos that aren't clickbait trash, your content is amazing, do not go to the dark side
First time seeing your channel and god damn this video is a banger. Definitely subbing. Editing is top tier man I love to see someone still putting effort into their content these days. Keep up the good work
4:52 I broke 3 separate TVs when I used to play on my Wii... (First was me forgetting to wear the strap, 2nd was the strap breaking, 3rd was the makeshift strap untying while I was fighting Matt...)

Jesus dude, this was a great video, heres to hoping the algorithm blows up and you catch more views! You put so much work into this, i even let the ads play out! lol
I love the OG XBOX, but the fact that I have to pay 60$ yearly to gain full access to the games I play is what stopped me from purchasing a 360. Unfortunate that Sony and Nintendo began to do the same...
Xbox after the 360 has been nothing but flops. Phil Spencer cannot manage Xbox for shit. They’ve been in last place for a long time. 343 has murdered Halo. They’ve yet to release something truly spectacular, while Sony does it damn near every year.
Which is exactly why Microsoft is buying Activision. Because they have no games unlike Sony and Nintendo. So what do they do? They buy their way to the top. I hope the deal fucking falls through HARD. Start making your own games and not take games away from your competitors just because your games are subpar at best.
One thing that is often overlooked by American commentators when discussing the downfall of the Xbox is that the Xbox one didn't release worldwide like the ps4. My country had to wait a year longer for the Xbox one to release while the ps4 was already available.
Nice video man! first time I have come across your channel however you earned yourself a new sub. PC master race here however I had every console from the atari up to the 360 and ps3, once I went PC I never looked back.
Xbox 360 was still selling strong even with the RRoD but they decided to focus so much on the Kinect to get the Wii market lmao. PS3 have the PS Move but i don’t think they were as bad about it. I still loved the Xbox 360 and lots of great exclusives but dang the red ring was a terrible blunder
I figured out why you sound familiar for some reason. Your delivery is exactly like knowledge hub's. I'm not complaining, cause that's a good delivery model for words.
Jesus, haven't watched your videos for a few months and you have over 130k subs. Congrats mate! Knew you'd get here. Crazy to think of how far you've come since you had 1000 subs only a shot while ago
Honestly; I'm tired of good games being made on a trash console and a good console having no good exclusives, I've owned both a Playstation and an Xbox and still prefer the 3ds for competitive Mario cart 7
With modding now kinect and the wii u, two very much trash on release are now the two biggest things I went. Kinect still has technology that cost thousands or hundreds and you can get for 12 bucks...
The craziest thing to me about the Xbox one launch is they died off what we today recieve as the norm, games must be online, you can't share games, and the 499 price point.. Always find it weird how many people actually like Kinect now..
I owned both a 360 and PS3 and i gotta say man did i play the hell of that 360 but I gotta say i played so little on the new Xbox so far but also even my playstation only a handful of first party games on either i cared about now days i play mostly indie games lol
I never heard about Milo. I didn’t follow this stuff back in the day. We just got the 360 + Kinect, so we were not following the hype train. Interesting.
holy hell that video was amazing, was genuinely funny, the content was well spaced out and well written, take my goddamn sub, ill even do something i never do and like the video as well, this was genuinely a breath of fresh air.
Imo Phil Spencer is killing Xbox. All he cares about is gamepass. I still love Xbox, I've owned every single one since the original og Xbox. I have my Xbox series s for BC and my PS5 for newer games.
Mate I'm 3 minutes in and the editing and just commenting on this time is hilarious "Nintendo just ignoring everyone and being weird" 😂 there was a divide between kids at the time as well kinda nuts thinking back
Microsoft: *Burns themselves alive* Sony: Yeah, I'm not going to do that. *Sony wins generation* Post-Credits: Sony went on to light themselves on fire too anyways, closing many studios and burning bridges with others along the way. With both kingdoms continuing to burn, people have slowly migrated to PC in droves.
This man needs more subs, his content is refreshing and he is genuinely humorous. Great content, love it man

I've got to say this. I really love the effort and humor you put in your videos. As many says, I wish more people knew about your channel
