Doom indeed, it'll disappear by the time next xbox comes out. The worse thing is... it'll probably be permanently included with the console. Lems will be stucked with it for eternity :lol:

They will, probably kinect 2.0 with more precision & less lag. But still, the idea of waving your hand in the air & jump around like an idiot will never work for many genres.

The only way I'd be interested is if they pay me 110 quid to own one.

As POS as Kinect is, it will keep the 360 at the top of NPD for the rest of this console cycle. It's a shame really.

That's the main audience for Kinect, family, kids, party & stuffs. The games aim at those audience. It's advertised & sold well, of course there're many people enjoying it. However, there're only limited genres that work well on Kinect (family, dance, music etc.), none of those games interests me as well as many other people. I'm indifferent about the Kinect. What I hate the most is the trend that MS is making, focus more on future Kinect. There's a high chance that Kinect will be integrated with the next xbox, which means part of my hardware purchase will be about the tech that I'll never use. Really don't want that to happen.

Indeed and it's been their main focus since 2009.

So wait, a $40 price cut (the first official one) almost 2 years after a product was released is a fail? I do love System Wars.

I'm personally surprised they were able to sell them at $150 for so long. The damn things are worth about $75 if you ask me.

Exactly. I know Microsoft feel sorry for Sony, but thats no reason to kill their own products just to give Sony a chance.

Kinect can be fun if you have friends to play with i.e. Dance Central, Kinect Sports, maybe Child of Eden etc. Also if you have a child around there's a good chance kinect will keep them entertained.

By yourself however, imo kinect isn't really that fun unless it's being used as a supplement to the controller for example head tracking in Forza 4 and voice command for Mass Effect 3.

Isn't child of eden a one player game?
