Microsoft are once again hoping that Xbox Kinect will top the Christmas charts again this year.

Microsoft marketing marketing director Michael Johnson told CVG at GamesCom that they think they will be able to top the Christmas charts again this year because of the innovative new features that have been implemented into Kinect.

“By bringing in new entertainment properties it makes it so that we’re not just going after the hardcore gamer – we have great games for them – but we’re not just going after the broad customer either. We have a full range of experiences for the full range of customers.

“There could be a very near future where somebody buys an Xbox 360 just for entertainment – because using your voice to engage with entertainment is something that they want to have.”

He was then asked if Microsoft had more big releases set for the motion sensor, to which he simply replied, “yes”.
