On stage during “The New Geography Of Gaming” panel at Web 2.0 Summit, the
topic of conversation between Kleiner Perkins partner Bing Gordon, Activisi
on’s Robert Kotick and Microsoft’s Don Mattrick focused on how amazingly e
ngaging today’s games are. A key talking point was plastics vs. not plastic
s i.e controllers (or guitars in the case of Activision’s Guitar Hero) vs.
the gesture and spoken command control interface of the newly launched Micro
soft Kinect.
After having sold 1 million Kinects in ten days, Mattrick was feeling pretty
confident about his company’s decision to cut out the plastic. When asked
by Gordon how much Microsoft spent on the product before launch Mattrick jok
ingly stated, “It felt like in excess of a billion.”
When asked by Gordon when people should place an order for Kinect in order t
o secure one for the holiday season, Mattrick said, seriously, “by the end
of this week” insisting that he was not just trying to spike early sales an
d in fact the product is in that much demand. |
