Japanese Kinect Living Space-Impaired Gamers Given Tape Measure By Microsoft

Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about the Japanese and those tiny little honeycombs they call apartments, oh no. They’re thinking long and hard about how to get to the yes, particularly yes to the question of would you like to know if you have room in your tiny house for our robotic murder machine? Now, most Japanese people they had at robotic murder machine and probably bought four, but for the strange ones that wanted to play games on the thing, Microsoft marketing has been working overtime. Then they scrapped everything they had and just gave them a tape measure. A tiny tape measure.

You see, this tape measure is reportedly less than three feet long. At first glance you’d be forgiven to think Microsoft’s intent was to deceive, since they’ve basically said anything under seven feet is a no go, but not so. Instructions on the thing indicate it should be used twice, so Microsoft is totally on the level. Except it adds up to less than six feet, a bit off from Microsoft’s seven. Also, reports suggest you need more like nine, especially for more than one player. And Microsoft seemed so trustworthy too.
