Why does everything made by Microsoft have that cartoony looking avatar resembling characters?

Have you used a Xbox 360? You create a avatar character for your profile. There are quite a few games that use them as well. Especially with the release of the Kinect.

I have a 360.

But it seems very childish, I don't know, maybe its just me. I have heard kinect games have to use them because otherwise its difficult to implement the controls or something. Is this a kinect game?

I see, you don't care for avatars because they look childish? Great discussion.

Well people seem to like the avatars and even buy clothes for them. I don't know what to tell you.

It does seem childish. And weird too. Not every childish thing is bad, nor is avatars but using them in games seems weird. They could have just used normal characters.
