This article may be axaggerated, but it's a fact that at the moment kinect is capable of one tenth of what was advertised still six months ago.

What did they say it was gonna do six months ago? Play motion games, let you go through some menus and yell some commands is about all I recall.

Another amazing feature that Kinect promised back in 09 was the ability so ‘scan’ objects using the device, which could then be used inside whatever game you happened to be playing. A great idea in theory, and could have added a lot of depth to the Kinect platform. Unfortunately, when E3 2010 came around, there wasn’t a single mention of this feature and when asked about it in interviews, Microsoft employees remained vague about the issue. Consider it MIA.

@OT Kinect really hasnt bought anything mind blowing to the table, I can see why Nintendo and Sony turned this tech down
