Wouldn't this be a good use of the Kinect?

People seem to be assuming that this means the Kinect would automatically "detect" minors and block them from playing M-Rated games.

Rather than the much more feasible possibility of using it to aid Parental Controls. You know, Kinect will recognize certain family members... parents tell it not to play for certain ones... bam, no big brother, just parents.

Seems reasonable compared to what's already being done with Kinect.

this, and it is actually a good idea other than it would kill xbone's software potential.

No, just selectively advertise. 

In Parent magazine, advertise the fact that Kinect can identify your child, ensuring that when you setup parental controls, your child will be bound by them.

Then in gamer magazines, advertise the games and cool features of the console.

I mean, how many times as a teenager have you picked up and read Parent magazine.  Even in the waiting room, I'd sooner pick up and read people than Parent magazine.
