Again I am having a different view than most people.

Kinect to me is wonderful...as a media interface device. That thing can do a lot of cool stuff for me while navigating xbox, tlaking to freinds and watching movies.

Games wise I also think its spot on for what they are going for. All Kinect games only work with kinect and can not be played with a 360 controller. They are all games that I do not want to play with a 360 controller. Easy to pick up, casual games which will give plenty of WTF moments while me and my friends are taking a breather from owning in Halo Reach.

MS are not mixing experiences...Kinect does what it does and games that are on it will utilize it or GTFO. If you want to play a shooter or an action game, you get to play with the best controller in the industry, 360 pad.

Wii for one had some absolute hits and great uses for the tech. However there are a lot of games on that system which implement the waggle controls just for the sake of having waggle. I realized this when I started using a 360 pad for some Wii games on a PC emulator. Like almost half of the titles are way more enjoyable to me with normal controls. 

I don't think Kinect will have this problem...
