"And even if this was acceptable, how would you control a more complex game like DMC or NG? Raise your hand over your head to swing?"

Yes?

"Hop three times to do a flying swallow?"

Maybe, lol! Or there could be hand signals or various other ways I can't be bothered to think of for you.

So, assuming kinect can even read hand signals, to play NG I'm supposed to move around my living room making hand gestures- which I would assume would be one for each move- giving me a movelist that is about as complex as ASL (which kinect can't read anyway). Yes, very practical and not convuluted in the least.

I'm pretty sure it can read hand signals, i don't mean fingers just different gestures with the hand like making a fist, waving, showing your palm, showing the back of your hand etc. You don't have to move around the room, think of an analogue stick, what do you do with it? You move your thumb around the surface, right? Now imagine your standing on a big (as in maybe a metre in diameter, not room sized) analogue stick so you just take one step in a direction (or maybe slide your foot) to move in that direction then step back to the middle to stop. You can swing your sword in all kinds of ways and maybe activate special moves with certain sword moves. Get an imagination already! (You do realise that Kinect tracks your full body in 3D and doesn't just have a limited set of gestures don't you?)
