well the wii already has both hardcore and casual audiences so a console that appeals to both has already been accomplished.
secondly i dont see how kinect will last when its so limited to working with only a few genres. Seriously where are the rpgs, platformers, shooters both fps and tps? aside from fitness games, some dancing games and that kinectanimals what else does it have to offer games wise? If you want to appeal to casual gamers you got to have a variety of games stretching from every genre and kinect cant do that if it can only work with a few genres hence why every adventure game is on rails but adventure games on the wii and ps move arnt on rails. Its like playing a game of basketball where you cant move around the court and whats the fun in that?
I know someone is gonna bring up racers but in all honesty who wants to play a racer by standing up and pretending that your steering a steering wheel? again its like playing basketball but with no basketball.
im not saying that kinect wont sell because when you have the most annoying ppl in the entertainment industry like Oprah and Justin Bieber advertising it, theres no way it cannot sell. But it will have limited appeal when ppl are starved for something new instead of playing the same generic adventure game, or jog in one place fitness games which makes up the majority of kinects library and since it cant expand since it cant even work with other genres because of it being "controllerless". I dont see kinect lasting that long.
