Commercially Kinect has been a hit and successfully extended the life cycle of the Xbox 360.
Based upon holiday sales and the coinciding drop in sales for the Wii over the last two holiday seasons, it would appear that Kinect essentially replaced the Wii as the family/holiday gaming purchase of choice.
But on a critical level, it's had two perfectly suited games in Dance Central 1 &2 and not a whole else beyond the same types of games that were popular on the Wii, minus the 1st party quality games.
It still feels as though the best uses for Kinect beyond the casual and family fare has been for the related voice recognition used in titles like Mass Effect 3 and soon Skyrim and to a lesser extent as a UI for the 360 menus.
Didn't live up to the marketing hype, but then who really expected it would?
