  1. The kinect is a gimmick


    I never really liked Kinect either. When it first came out for the Xbox 360 I thought it was a complete waste of money for $150. Now that Xbox One is bundled with Kinect and I had some time to use it my opinion hasn't changed.

  2. Great post Joe...XBox had huge marketshare with 360 and now I can't think of 1 place in the entire world where X1 sales are beating PS4. That is more than a few steps back and you got people on here saying everything is great. It's not great and MS should
    be listening to to the more critical XBox fans like me and a few others that constantly get drowned out by the yes men.

    No what would I want with Kinnect MK 2 ?

    On a serious note, what purpose does the Kinect serve deaf n dumb gamers ?

  5. But then again what purpose does it serve the gamer ? Can it find you a Daft Punk Track ? Can you search the net by voice ? Microsoft copied Apple with Siri. Either that or Microsoft employers are obsessed with their I phone 4s and the film Minority Report.
    Maybe Microsoft should sell the Kinect rights to Apple only then it might come a better product.

    On a serious note what good is a controller for a gamer with one hand?

    See we can both try and be serious.

    And you may need the eye or a new model of it crammed down your throat to make it work as well. Hope not for your sake because cameras and tracking are gimmicks hey?
