You guys are reading way too far into it.  That's the troubleshooting section.  Not every game for Kinect works the same.  Some, I'm sure, use the RGB camera for certain aspects.  It is the RGB camera that needs certain lighting/color requirements.  That's why PSEye has to have the glowing balls and optimal lighting to track anything other than the PS Move controllers.

If a game just uses the depth sensor then yes, you will be able to play in the dark, in any color, and be perfectly fine.

As to the "well ventilated" comment, it says that in every single console manual and pretty much all new consumer entertainment devices.  It's just saying that these devices need airflow to keep cool so don't close it in a cabinet or surround it with books or cover it in clothes.

Also, I find it very hard to believe people can't find 6-8' of space from their TV in most living rooms/entertainment centers.  I live in an apartment and my living room space from the TV to the front of my couch is 8' so I should be fine and people with houses should have much more space than me.

Nothing to worry about here.

I agree people are just to pessimistic about this product. If you don't have that much room in your place, you need to stop spending so much on video games, get a job, get a bigger place. I have had many appartments with cheap rent and Have always had that amount of space. 

This product is new and you have no clue until you try the product. I think with TGS annoucements Most of my worries are gone. this product needs time to be worked with like the wii. Wii basically set up confidence for the move. I remember all these doom articles about the wii. look at it now.

I think nightsurge makes some good points, depends on how the developers work with it's potential. This will take sometime.

P.s. f you bobby kotick!
