But boxing has got to be one of the most upper body related martial arts there are?

Judo is all about your stance, same with sumo wrestling.

The martial arts I've done (Bukido and Tae kwon do) were very much about lower body work too, much more so than the boxing I've seen, which is admittedly not a huge amount.

Surely,by comparison to other martial arts, Boxing is mostly to do with the upper body?

I love when people talk out of their asses. The footwork is essential on boxing. Just watch boxing some day. Of course there is a lot of upper body work too but upper body work is not just arm punches. It is bopping, weaving, shoulder rolling etc. Those are things that kinect can track and move/wm can't.

And what is the point to compare it to other martial arts? It does not in any way validate the argument that boxing is "mostly upper body sport".

Bopping....Weaving....Shoulder rolling are all detectable 'Upper body' movements?   You're right, I love it when people talk out of their asses.   Yes footwork is important in boxing but even more so than that is responsiveness and accuracy.  Two things that it appears Kinect will not have.
