Well there you go, get Kinect, you won't have a device in your hands to break!

jk, jk (while I am not interested in Kincet it reallky remains to be seen whether the software that will actually come out will be this laggy)

Right after I posted that I thought someone would make that joke and yep you did

Just about every report I've seen said there is at least a 200ms input lag thats enough to ruin any racing or fighting game.  Some things like the Harry Potter game is not a good example of what the lag will be like, it's using the old engine, it's on rails, and the gameplay looks lack luster, it's got rushed out Kinect launch/early life title all over it

I have this feeling that a lot of what we're seeing may be software related problems. It's just like when someone says "zomg Move is much more precise than WM plus!" based on this or that game, when in actuality it is the way that the WM plus implementation was done (e.g. because the developer thought that 1:1 would be too tough on most players) that gives this impression.

So it just may be that what we are seeing here is the software and not the Kinect... If that's the quality of the software that will actually come out at launch though, they should have delayed the launch.
