And the thing is, the Kinect sensor totally works. Anyone not impressed or at least amused by the growing volume of things being done via hardware hack are deliberately stifling their opinions of the tech in the interest of remaining stubbornly biased against it.
The thing that boggles my mind is that literally EVERYTHING impressive I've seen about Kinect has been related to hardware hacks done by end users and engineers.
Complaints by core Xbox users over the emphasis on Kinect soft development is not completely unfounded. While it's foolish to think this will result in a drastic reduction in core titles, if Kinect interactivity isn't at least made optional in some of the big franchise titles, it may well become a dumping ground for "expanded audience" games with dumbed down controls.
