We think once people start playing this, you watch them. And an interesting thing is it's not only the people playing, they get energized and are rolling enthusiastic about it, but you'll find people actually gathering around and it's fun to watch people play. So we think this is gonna be a really hot holiday gift, gift-giving idea.

So as you can see, there is no hand controller with the Microsoft Kinect. My body is the controller. That's a big difference from competitors like the Nintendo Wii and the PlayStation Move.
要知道，微软的Kinect游戏机并没有手柄jUUW&O4fW9]z。人的身体就是遥控器BNg11Mc&f;u。这是和其他竞争对手如任天堂Wii和PlayStation Move的根本区别~s@4R.0Zqnp|6GJP09。

Another big difference—price, at about $150 on top of buying an Xbox 360. It's more expensive than an Nintendo Wii, but CNN Stan Acamen believes there's a lot of hidden value for consumers.

For something it's basically a big super fancy Webcam. $150 may seem expensive but it's definitely more advanced than any Webcam that you have, and in fact, you use it as a game controller, as a motion controller for your console, as a voice command center and also things like a video version of Skype. You can video chat with people. It really makes me feel like, more like a premium console add-on than just a Webcam.
对于一个巨型的神奇网络摄像头来说，150美元也许太贵了，但它可比任何一个你拥有的摄像头都先进多了，事实上，你是将这个摄像头当做游戏手柄，也就是游戏遥控器，语音控制中心和像Skype一样的视频软件在使用b+AgN.X0~fT3!Vi-。你能用它视频聊天sQH1i=g7p[bPyTvdZ[c。这也是我最喜欢的一点，相比于单纯的网络摄像头，它更像一个先进的综合控制台YLMgol6H6P7..LfvS。

It's a high stakes game for Microsoft. The $20 billion US video game market has been hard hit by the economic downturn. So the pressure is on for Microsoft to score big with Kinect.
但这对于微软来说也是高风险的%k@Zo0lLlsffA+n[h#。美国200亿的电子游戏市场正受到世界经济危机的影响，因此微软的Kinect是承担着巨大风险的z(HdE%iyC3。
