what core games has kinect advertised?1000th post and should have been a better post,what a way to waste a milestone moment lol.i just said the possibilities of what could be done are becoming clearer.

The possibilities of Kinect with a CONTROLLER. It's nice that it can do that, but if all the casuals who bought Kinect start to see ads of a Kinect controller or even the existing one to enhance gameplay, that would be like a huge "gotcha!" I'm more excited at what the hackers can do with this. Combine with the other motion controls, the results could be pure awesomeness. Kinect by itself, may not be as good.

I will laugh so hard if I ever see a commercial that goes...

"With Kinect, You don't need controllers to play, you are the controller! *Some games require controllers for enhanced gameplay"

Microsoft was very smart about this.  You don't want to dilute your marketing campaign with all kinds of extra caveats.  They stuck to a very simple message, "You are the controller".  Every game was geared towards that.  It helped them bring in many people to whom controllers are a scary proposition, it's an obstacle for those people. 

Now that they've gotten Kinect into the public mind they don't need to push that message as hard.  If they release a game with hybrid controls it will not likely appeal to the extreme casuals anyway so why would they care if it needs a controller?  They won't be playing those type of games anyway.  You think the casuals are going to perk up at Call Of Duty: Kinect Edition just because it uses Kinect?  No.

It's also not like they didn't get the controller bundled with the system, they're not being forced to buy an addition device.
