[citation][nom]zak_mckraken[/nom]250$, 150$ or even 50$, who here would buy one? It's not a gaming product this time around. It's not even a end-user product. It's meant for companies, enthusiasts, students, researchers to to create innovative uses to the technology. Sure, some games will probably pop up now and then, but that's not the goal for Microsoft. You're not paying only for the device, you,re also paying for the constant update in the SDK.[/citation]
So its fail then. Students aren't going to pay $250 for something with limited use. Some companies might buy, although I think that at your average company its going to be a hard sale, I can only imagine people who do high end presentations being particularly interested (just so they can act cooler by changing the power point slide with their hand). But that really is a tiny fraction of the marketplace.
It seems unusual to me for a company like Microsoft which makes its bread and butter targeting the average consumer, making a product like that.
