I dunno about you, but I think Kevin Butler is right.

I don't think I can really play games without anything to hold or pressing a button. I would feel like an idiot pretending to turn the wheel of a nonexistent thing in my hand. I feel like it would be, as Kevin Butler said, like third grade *pew pew pew*.

This isn't meant to bash Kinect in any way. I think it will be a great success. But I personally can't bring myself to wave my hands and feet around in pretend space. I would feel kinda stupid doing it.

Do you really need something in your hand to enjoy the experience?  Just grab a couple 1 lb weights and wave those around in your hands while using Kinect.  They are the same experiences (swinging arms around and turning a pretend steering wheel, etc) just one makes you hold something and one doesn't.

Regardless, it doesn't matter as you are not the target audience for Kinect anyways.  Not even the Wii's casuals are the audience.  Kinect is for the millions of people that don't even play on a Wii because the controller is still a barrier to them.  Not to mention this will really make media enthusiasts happy.
