please stop with that nonesense.

kinect is dead because ultimatly MS killed it. how many kinect games were shown at the E3 2014 press confrence? Gamescom? are there more than 10 kinect games out there? serious question.

the problem with kinect is fundimantal. as others said navigating 3D worlds is pretty much a big issue with kinect. and without a nun chuck type controller in hand it has proved to be very problematic. the fact that it still has latency issues renders it unusuable for VR (unless that problem is solved). so as of now, the kinect is dead, it has no good games, nothing on the horizon coming and no real future. the kinect was a dud, it was a very stupid decision from MS to put it with every xbox one. however it shows what MS's orginal vision for the xbox one was, and the audince they targeted. the only saving grace for it is twitch and gameplay streaming, and even for that audince its over priced compared to sony's solution, which can be found for around 40 bucks and basically has the same purpose, but also will be a big part of VR in the future. 

MS isnt marketing it, MS isnt making games for it, MS isnt even talking about it. you want to know why all the people who are saying its dead dont have a kinect? because nobody freaking wants one. 

Future of Kinect? Past of Kinect

input devices have to be extremely reliable - even 95% reliability will quickly lead to frustration and unfortunately the newest Kinect seems to provide noticeably less than that although it surely is a big step up from the first

it's not dead because someone like me likes it or not. it's dead because the market, specifically the xbox market has turned its back on the tech. i'm sure some people love it but the reality is if MS don't give people a reason to love it and make it a must have it's gonna become a forgotten peripheral that costs a lot of money to buy. 

It's dead. It's in a similar scenario to Vita's in the west. Third parties don't want to make games for it and Microsoft aren't willing to save it by themselves.

i think he is speaking from general reception and sales. If it was really that popular as you want to believe why would MS unbundle it? Why are they not even making games for it?

you are correct. i personally wouldn't ever buy a device like kinect or the ps eye. 

they are just too simple and not fun enough. 

But yes I'm talking about sales and lack of support. True_fan didn't get what I was saying hence his reply was off-topic. 

I get 100% what you are talking about, the problem is that you are flawed in your thinking. How do you know hoe many kinects they sell, also if you actually paid attention to XB1 news there have been several recent articles about new teams opening up to expand the kinect experiences. Kinect was unbundled in March, if it was dead would they have stopped shipping those bundles. There were sever kinect bundles selling well over the holidays.

Pretty sure those bundles were just old stock they need to get rid of. Where is the proof that those bundles did well pretty sure most xone sales came from NOT those. Show us these articles. What does expand mean? is it gaming? I havent heard any announcement of any game even using Kinect.

It might come back when they learn how to use it properly. Also, how are there not more light gun/rail shooters for the Wii/Wii U? the Wiimote is perfect for that.
