you can bet that MS has enough patents to either kill it right away or make money with it.

Of course MS has enough partners, development kids out already that this won't be any competition at all.

it shows how great he technology is improving over the years which is good for every gamer who wants to play games with gestures. they even say the work together with many partners of the consumer electronic branch and they expect to use their technology for phones, laptops AND gaming systems. and they have a patent on their own so who exactly says that microsoft has the patents they need? there is not even a camera in this thing nor an infrarot sensor. it seems to have a totally different technology, the only thing which is the same is that you can use gestures to change something on a screen. but since you are posting i maybe shouldn't wonder (you know what i mean if it comes to microsoft)

it's like you would say microsoft has to pay money to sony for kinect because of eyetoy where you can use gestures to change something on a screen as well.

This has nothing to do with MS or whatever.

Look at the patentwars going on. These lawsuits are not because highly technical patents, more because of really basic patents. Do you really think a company like MS with a legal division bigger than most other companies "forgot" something for one of their key devices? And now the new company will step up and outperform MS. Right...

Not gonna happen.

And for the bolded part: What did you expect them to say? The network MS has with their whole ecosystem is gigantic. Developers, hardware manufacturers, publisher, retailer, marketing people, their own devices, cross platform from Windows to Windows phone to Xbox Live etc. etc. This is where a lot of good ideas simply fail. If this is a good thing or not is a different question.
