Ive come to the conclusion that we are going to have to agree to disagree, I will ammend my previous post by saying that I view Kinect as a platform within a platform, much like steam is to the pc just much more watered down as the kinect simply has games made for it, but you get what I mean.  Im done with this though, almost pointless apparently.

Steam is a content delivery platform.  But it delivers practically the same content as the retail content whihc in turn is utilized on the same device platform...the PC itself.  

Steam is not an add-on like Kinect.  A PC add-on would be...well, Kinect on PC.

But heres the catch, without a pc, could you use steam?

Without an X360, could you use Kinect?

Without a Wii, could you use a Wii Balance Board? 
Without a PS3, could you use Move?
Without a PS2, could you use Eye Toy?
Without a Sega Genesis, could you use Sega CD?
Without an N64, could you use a Nintendo 64 DD?

Im not understanding how thats helping your stance at all, I could say that about anything that exists, I was simply stating that I see kinect as a platform within a platform simply because it is not designed to deliver a single experience or is limited to a particular genre, rather it is a platform that allows devs the ability to create a varied lineup of software much like the sega cd, 64 dd, move etc.  Then again, I do see where youre coming from in a sense that every game requires an input device, but my argument is the versatility of things such as the kinect and move versus, lets say, a guitar hero guitar since they are only used for rythym based games.  And here I am again, defending my stance on the issue even though I said I wouldnt.  Im done with this, dont quote me because I wont respond, were not gonna get anywhere with this.
