kinect 并未放弃日本,体感演示旅行车即将登场

It is widely known that the Kinect has not had the best reception on the land of the rising sun due in part to a lack of room to play with it in most small Japanese apartments. Demo stations in Shinjuku have been seriously lonely. While Microsoft recently set a world record with sales of Kinect in the US, in Japan the sales are measured in thousands, not millions. That doesn't mean that the marketing crew has given up entirely though.

The Kinect Trailer, and by trailer I mean the literal kind that gets pulled by a truck, will be heading out starting March 19 in Hiroshima, ending its tour in Kobe this April. The trailer is roughly the size of most urban apartments (maybe smaller), complete with ceiling fan, which will hopefully assuage any concerns that the peripheral won't work in urbanites' small digs. It also helps testers be a little less self conscious,'cause as we all know, testing body-controlled games in retail stores can be more than a little embarrassing.

Microsoft hopes to improve support of the Kinect in Japan so Japanese developers will be more familiar with it and more likely to develop software for it. If Kinect isn't successful in Japan it could put developers at a disadvantage trying to figure what software players outside Japan want on the device.

众所周知，kinect在这个东方国家并没有被广泛接纳，原因就是大部分狭小的日本公寓中，缺乏足够的空间来玩它。在新宿的演示站门可罗雀，与此同时，微软近来却在美国缔造了销售记录，而日本的销量却极为缓慢，只有可怜的几万，但是这并意味着销售人员放弃了日本！

       kinect演示拖车，字面上理解就是由卡车牵引的家居旅行车，将于3月19号在广岛出发，于4月在神户结束，拖车的尺寸近乎于日本大部分居民的公寓（或者更小），带有一个吊扇，它将解除关于kinect不能运用于狭小寓所的担忧，同时它也能让体验者在较为隐私的空间中进行测试，避免了在**商场中进行体感游戏的尴尬。

       微软希望借此改善kinect在日本的状况，从而让日本的开发商更加熟悉kinect，更愿意在上面开发软件。如果kinect在日本不能取得成功，那么将使开发商处于非常不利的地位，不得不考虑日本以外的玩家需要什么样的游戏。
