The reason i and many others are downplaying Kinect. Is because if its a success (which is already is) Microsoft will probably focus even more on casual games which i don't want. I have a Wii, never played any title with Wii in the title except Mario Kart Wii and NSMBWii go figure. I don't want that type of games, Microsoft is the only company publishing exclusives for 360 anymore, so if they are going casual, i just got the same games i can play on my PS3. While the PS3 got those games plus, Uncharted 3 etc. See what i am getting at?
Think about it for a while, this will hurt the core audience in the end. Unless Microsoft starts focusing more on the HC games which they probably wont if Kinect is making them more money (except the occational Halo and Gears).

No.
Microsoft will still chase after both audiences and be a true gaming machine for all styles of play. The entire reason the Xbox was called the 360 was because MS said they were going to get every kind of game for every kind of audience, thus a 360 full effect. There will still be Halo, and Gears, and stuff like Codename Kingdoms as well as all the casual games. And thats the way it should be, a system doesn't have to only cater to one kind of audience.

I know, neither Nintendo caters to only one audience, but lets say Microsoft Game Studios only get 1 Billion in budget (completly made up number) a couple of years ago, probably over 90% would go to exclusive HC games and DLC. Today, probably 50% at the most (again completely made up number) 2 years from now if Kinect keeps selling probably less than 30% (made up). See what i am getting at?

I see your point but at the same time the entire Xbox division is now bringing in more money from Kinect hardware and sofware sales. In fact its bringing in TONS of money cause MS has already stated that they make profit on every Kinect sold. So thats more cash to use on the development of games both Core and Casual. And its not like Kinect will be only casual games. Project Draco and Steel Battallion as well as the Gears Kinect title and Forza 4 are all core titles that use Kinect and thats just stuff thats already announced.
