I wasn't sure if I was going to like Kinect either, but after getting it as a christmas gift and playing it I found it very fun. Contorls fit the games made for it perfectly and the voice commands are very impressive, I'm excited to see how MS expands this in the future..
One thing is for sure, millions of families were playing kinect this christmas weekend and much like the Wii affect when it released we can expect a similar result, it really is one of those things that people that don't normally like video games are drawn to. My wife couldn't stop talking to the damn thing, she just kept telling it to do stuff over and over again. If Kinect doesn't have a future as a gaming console maybe it will have a future as a therapist for women. It can be programmed to give comforting repsonses and ask how her day was.
