Regardless of how accurate the technology becomes, it still won't be a good way to control games. But I guess Dance Central 4 will be good on it.

With the right amount of accuracy it becomes a great way to control games. Albet, it needs assistance from some form of controller to see full potential, but it will expand gameplay oppertunities non the less. We as a community need to be much more open to advances in tech on all fronts. We need deeper control options to expand the hardcore sector, we need much more power to utilize these inputs and expand graphical capabilities, and finally we need to be willing to pay a price that fits the market of today.

I hope to see a highly improved Kinect with every console, and much more controller + Kinect games.

If you need a controller to use it, what's the advantage of a Kinect?  The Kinect was made to appeal to the Wii crowd, the kind of people who are intimidated by the 10 buttoned, dual analog monstrosity gamers have adapted to.  The prospect of taking my hands off of my controller during a game is unappealing and counterintuitive.  Besides that, using the controller as a hybrid kind of thing would limit motion based inputs to hand gestures.  In that case, what advantage does the Kinect offer over a setup like the Wii or Move?

It's not that I'm not open to new ideas.  It's just that Microsoft tried it already, and it showed it didn't work.
