You are missing the point, the point of kinect is to help sell media hub device, it is marketing gimmick for the masses.

I own a xbox 360 with Kinect and I use it video chat and occasionally play a kinect game.  Guess what when I am not using it I can turn it off or disconnect it from the system completely and the 360 willl still function.

Would I recommend kinect to friend or relative for xbox 360 the answer is no.

I am guessing you would, but please respond.

I will probably buy an xbox one but not at launch.


You can do the same with Xbox One's Kinect. All except for disconnect it entirely.

It is a motion control method, not just some media gimmick.

I would only recommend it to a friend I knew was interested in motion control to begin with. Or I would have them try it out on my setup first.

Have fun showing off your xbox One make sure to tell friends that it always needs to be connected to internet and that the kinect is always on even when you disable it.  Those are all great selling points...just admit it Microsoft has let the Xbox 360 success to go their heads and missed the boat on xbox one.
