Lost in the buzz about 8 million Kinect shipped/sold was the unveiling of Avatar Kinect and the annoucement of Netflix and Hulu Plus with Kinect support all coming this spring.
Netflix and Hulu Plus were expected and I am very excited about this as long as they fill the holes in other aspects where Kinect is supporting the software. For instance Zune has spots where you no longer have Voice control like if you dont have a playlist setup in Zune Music. Voice control is most important to me.
Avatar Kinect is very cool and it shows how through software Kinect capabilities can be upgraded. With factial recognition now it shows that thinks like finger recognition are possible which can give finer granular control. As for Avatar Kinect itself I think that kids will love it and I also think it is going to be a YouTube sensation for people doing there own little shows/podcasts using thier Avatars.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
