You're a little late dude. Controlling games with your mind is the future!



Above: still the best game of the year.

Absolutely not.  The heart of gaming centers around hardcore gamers.  Kinect does NOTHING to promote hardcore gaming.  In fact, just the opposite.


What people tend to forget is that while it might be true now that hardcore gamers prefer the controller, it is still based on your generation. Your generation is getting old and a new one will take over. If the new one finds motion sensing like Kinect more comfortable than the controller then the gaming will move that way. It doesn't mean that hardcore games will be gone, you just gotta suck it up and admit that the way we play will change eventually and there's nothing you can do about it but enjoy it while it lasts.

That's what people said about controllers versus mouse and keyboard, but controller-based gaming eventually made some huge leaps and bounds and advances in "hardcore" gaming as you put it.

.....

 Except for the most part PC gamers still choose keyboard and mouse over controllers especially FPS. You'll get destroyed using a controller vs K/M when it comes to FPS on the PC . Controllers are better, even on PC, when it comes to sport games like Madden.

K/M is not ideal to use on the couch so consoles has always use controllers. So  controllers vs K/B is not the same as compairing controllers vs motion controls. So far Kinect doesn't seem to be ideal to use on the couch either  without some kind of controller.
