No it wasnt, it was a terrible idea. Funds that could of been used for other projects were wasted on the Kinect and the Move imo. At least one of them should of stayed away from motion controls. As a result we get a Kinect Fable and Wonderbook. Great. |
Basil, I'm not familiar with move, but from a business standpoint kinect was sound. Here is Barozi's thread for an idea of the massive sales kinect generated.

Of course that stalled the funding of projects you prefer, but
1) It yielded significant profit that can be fed back into the development pipeline and
2) It catered to an audience that was catered to on the Wii, and so it helps MS expand, which is a good thing, as long as it doesn't hamper on the other segments they are seeking to reach.
