To me, it looks like Microsoft is Cargo Culting Nintendo. Seriously, I think I've seen most of these games on the Wii before. And that is Kinect's greatest weakness. Casual gamers, by default, won't have a 360, so they'll have to spend well over $300 to start playing. I doubt that the current 360 fanbase will make Kinectimals a bestseller. The Wii has never cost more than $250, and has cheap-ass games like Wii Play that are essentially $10 expansion packs for Wii Sports that come with an extra controller. Kinect itself is good for two players, but good luck convincing a casual player to spend $50 on something available a few years ago on a cheaper system.
On the brighter side, Dance Central actually looks like a decent game to me. I hope it does relatively well.
Love and tolerate.
