Very much so. Kinect doesnt look like a copy. It looks like the next thing. It's a Wii upgrade. Kinect sports for example is body motion. Wii Bowling for instance can be won sat on the sofa. This is impossible with Kinect. Kinect gets 'you' involved by making your entire skeletal structure the controller for each part of the character onscreen.

You need no extra controllers. Instantly 4 player. No addons needed. 

A £199 ( $299 ) Kinect 360 250gb bundle with a game will sell out XMAS. 

It's my opinion. But Kinect is being viewed by mainstream public as the future. Not a wii copy. 

Regardless of what us Hardcore ever think.

When you look at the software line up, it does indeed look very much like a copy of what the Wii has already shown and what the Eye toy showed like seven year's ago. You also talk about how Kinect is an upgrade as if it is the only option available, the Move got a much more positive reception and it also offer's a HD upgrade. Your also downplaying the Wii as if it wouldn't be competitive any more in that market because Kinect is some how better, reports have shown that it isn't perfect. 

Microsoft also haven't announced a Kinect price, they also haven't given any hint leading toward's a $299 bundle, what your doing is randomly speculating what could happen. 

The mainstream media has been pretty bare on Kinect, from what I've seen a few outlet's have been positive and the overwhelming majority has been negative. The gaming press is also negative. 

The hardcore is what the 360 relies on at the moment, they gave us nothing new at E3 except for a decent Slim model and an interesting user interface. You can't expect that just because it's casual, the casual buyers will swarm on the product as if it is the second coming.

Your insulting the intelligence of casual buyer's by assuming they buy anything cute and shiny and don't also judge a product  based on it's performance and functionality.

Move had a positive reception with the hardcore gamers. The gaming media.

I dont see Move on morning TV shows, with the casuals loving it do you?

It's best to leave it as our own opinions here. IMO Kinect will outsell Move 5:1 at least.

 

EDIt: The mainstream media are loving this. Dont twist it. It's in todays newspaper in UK to. With the headline, Wii all need to get Kinected this Xmas.
