I have no clue why MS even focused on it for the Xbox One. It was too expensive to appeal to non-gamers ($500!?!) and didn't have that many games either (Rivals was even delayed as a launch title).

To be fair i love it as a media device.  Telling xbox to turn on or go to a specific app without touching the controller is great use of it.  I would have bought it regardless, but I agree they shouldnt have focused on games.  Just like the WiiMote i believe that motion controls hurt the ruputation of Xbox as it did Nintendo in the long run.

they should have just built in a microphone on the XBO instead of adding this costly motion sensor camera...
