how is voice control pointless?  and ive never underestood what "gamers"  have against games of all nature.  a game is a game. 

A game is a game, but some games take honed skills and talent to beat and/or master (Ikaruga, 100% Meatboy etc.) while others take absolutely none (Farmville).

Both of your examples are legitimate forms of entertainment as well as clearly games.

Yes, but one requires extreme skill and the other doesn't. This means division of said gamers. Core gamers prefer games with depth and skill, casuals prefer having their hand held.

That's true. But one does not spoil the other. You can have your cake and eat it too. Kinect didn't ruin Halo 4. It wasn't even used in Halo 4. Kinect voice was available for Mass Effect 3 and it was cool, but you didn't have to use it.

I'm not really seeing what you're point is other than there are different games for different people. I don't pay much attention to casual games and enjoy my core games. The existence of Kinect does not harm my enjoyment of games.
