No shit. Luckily it wasn't devised for such a thing. When will people get it? Kinect isn't trying to be and doesn't need to be a total replacement control system. It's an alternative for certain types if games, and it works very well in those games.

The problem isn't the people who get it but those who don't.  There is plenty of silly hype spread about what Kinect "could do" or "will do" once developers work it out, combined with MS themselves putting out speculative vids which imply a lot more than can be delivered.  That backdrop is why we're going to keep hearing "give it time" from one side and "bollocks it's not a good fit" from the other.

Kinect will clearly never be the best choice for a traditional shooter as main control scheme.  It's just not possible.  It's great when used correctly - no doubt about it.  But the problem I feel is too much of the fanbase is trying to push it's capabilities as being more than they are which will always draw a response from the other side.
