But the tech isn't very and contradicts the Wii's concept of using gestures, pointing and buttons.

 

It would be impossible to do most of Nintendo's big games via Kinect hardware.

However, what kinect does do, is it seals up an opening that Nintendo could have gone to.

I've tried making that point. Nintendo fans just praise Nintendo for passing it up. As opposed to improving the original technology like MS did.

1. I already told you they had their own camera in development.  Why bother licensing out someone elses technology when you have your own to use? Also think of Sony turning it down.

2. And how much money has MS had to spend to improve Kinect?  Ironically, they've reduced it's capabilities in the process by lowering the RGB resolution and the numbe of points of articulation it tracks.  And it's now only 2 players at a  time. Also think of Sony turning it down.

3. They already have the Vitality Sensor in development.  Working on another peripheral will continue to confuse and segregate the market making it hard to publishers to allocate funding and resources.

4. How do you know what they have planned for their next home console?  I'd say after the insanely profitable and popular DS and Wii console (and it's peripherals) that Nintendo know what they are doing.  I think I'll trust that judgement if they turn down Kinect.

1. What's your point? You still won't admit that was a dumb decision by Nintendo. They knew their camera was a joke and didn't even bother. Kinect technology could have been their next big innovation.

2. Has it been confirmed it only supports 2 players? And even a less capable Kinect is still far more capable than any other camera device we've seen.

3. A vitality sensor you say? Wow, that has potential for a lot of great games. Hopefully it'll have a huge library with tons of variety like the balance board.

4. Of course you trust their judgement. Never have they had unsuccessful hardware. And every console they released dominated the generation.
