MS: Hardcore will buy Kinect first

Worldwide product marketing manager of Xbox, Ryan Moore, has told CVG that hardcore gamers, and not the casual massive, will be the first to buy Kinect this November.

“I think we know that hardcore gamers will be the first to go out and buy it, as they are with any product,” Moore told the site at E3.

He went on to add: “We know we have to have a wide range of experiences, from things like the animals game you saw today to… games that are more geared towards the core.
“I would expect a wide range of products to be released this holiday.”

No European release date has been given for the motion camera, nor has the price for either Europe or the US. Speculation is pointing at a $150 RRP.
Expect pricing to be announced in Cologne during gamescom in August.
Kinect launches in the US on November 4

I don't know what Ryan is on but he may have to rethink his statement, so far all the games geared for the Kinect have been aimed at the causal crowd.

"from things like the animals game you saw today to… games that are more geared towards the core."

It's funny in the quote above he didn't mention one game that the "core" will play, they are going to have to expand the library to include some heavy hitting games to get the "core" to even give the Kinect a second glance.
