    Why not promote Kinect, now that millions of kids cannot leave their homes due to coronavirus?


    After many years, I just took out my Kinects again, both for Xbox 360 and One, and prepared some space to use them at home. The reason? I have 2 kids who cannot attend school and have to stay confined at home following government regulations in my country.
    And kids need to move! The same is happening to millions in many countries in Europe and around the world.

    Next thing I did was to have a look at the store. I have some Xbox 360 games for Kinect, but almost nothing for Xbox One. I found out there´s only a few games there, most of them several years old. Others have been taken out of the store and can only be
    downloaded using a redeem code. And for the ones you can buy, prices are pretty high, considering how old they are and the little success Kinect has had for the Xbox One in general. In other words, it looks like Microsoft has lost all interest in promoting
    Kinect and its games.

    My proposal is that Microsoft could try to give Kinect a boost. Many people would be very thankful if, given the circumstances, Microsoft did some campaign to give Kinect and its games a second chance. That could be offering them free to play for a couple
    of days, adding some of them to Game Pass, or at reduced prices via Deals with Gold.

    Lots of people could benefit from it. Kids as well as whole families, with games that help doing some exercise. It would be very positive for the image of Microsoft, too, caring about the needs of so many people confined in their homes. And, who knows? It
    may even make both Microsoft and customers reconsider giving Kinect a second (or third) chance.

    If anyone has any ideas where to contact to let Microsoft know about this proposal, all input is welcome.

    :)

    Because they've been trying very hard to bury the entire idea of Kinect, mostly because it's a big reminder of how the Xbox One launched, and how much of a giant setback it has been for the current Xbox team to overcome. In an ideal world, it would still
    be available for those that want it, and still be supported. But they put Kinect to sleep, and they won't be trying to reawaken it. It's a real shame because it was an amazing piece of technology.

    Unfortunately, it seems that Microsoft has basically abandoned Kinect as a concept :(
