It has been scientifically proven that in a comparison, when we look at a game that begins development after another game is released, the one made after the other is better.
Because we find it pathetic that a 16 year old guy who hasn't dropped his balls yet can get popular via YouTube. Plus, he hasrecieved more money than anyone here will ever earn. Finally, the media is all over him. It drives us insane.
Kinect will be more significant with interface rather than games. I can see Kinect technology incorporated into laptop web cameras, web cams, and other devices for MS.
So basically many functions we perform with mouse and keyboard will be transferred to eye tracking. Hand and body motions are just the first step. When they can track eye movements, navigating a computer becomes faster and easier than ever conceived.

But what would the point be? short keys and a mouse is way more efficient than "Kinect" for laptops would be. Even if the "mouse" was actually a touch pad.
Think about instantly logging in because your specific eye works better than a password. Lets say you have multiple windows up in your monitor, instead of having to click the specific window you look at it and immediately start doing actions in the window you are looking at (this may sound extremely trivial but little things like that could seriously speed up the process). The freedom of being able to control your computer as long as you are somewhat near it is a big deal. This shatters barriers for casual users. SO many functions that Kinect technology will use, will be able to streamline computers even more for inexperienced users. When the basic person can do much more with computers due to new tools, advanced users range of tools exponentially increase. Before the mouse, everyone used qwerty and many people scoffed at the idea of the mouse.
What if you have an itch? You go and screw things up.
