...and your point its? You're justifying the longevity of casual use  item in the public eye because.....? Kinect 2 is being bundled to protect the investment, period. If they felt they could sell it without you would see a $400 Xbox One. Its called protecting an investment.

Wow. Seriously, do you need to play video games? Have a TV? Get out of here. We don't need half the shit we buy and yet, it stays relevant and we keep on buying it. I have to give you credit for taking that "loyalty free" statement out of your sig though. You finally stepped up.

Primarily you buy a videogame console to play videogames, yes. Sony changed the methodology to bring people into gaming via multimedia and Microsoft came and followed suit upping the ante with multimedia whilst bringing proper online to the table. The Kinect sold more units than the original Xbox, I am sure, but thats because of quick casual holiday sales. Such high sales between 2010 to 2012 is a short period of time to have such high sales and then just have it drop off  of the face of the earth. If Kinect 2 is the same product just with more powerful graphics, it will do very little compared to the first when it comes to concrete gaming. Same multimedia controls, same rails games, same everything except it has a much more powerful sensor, sound and camera. 

Primarily you buy a videogame console to play videogames, yes.

I didn't say otherwise.. Not sure why you lead the response with an obvious statement. In fact... Your response has little to do with what I said at all. Here, I'll copy and paste it for you. Well, the important part anyway.

"Wow. Seriously, do you need to play video games? Have a TV? Get out of here. We don't need half the shit we buy and yet, it stays relevant and we keep on buying it."

I want a response to that. To why the Iphone keeps selling so well yet we do not need it. Tablets have boomed too in recent years as have paying extra to go see a movie in 3-D in the cinemas, we don't need these tings, yet, here they are. MS CAN keep the Kinect relevant if they chose too and if everything fell in their favour. Not sure why you're so intent on denying it even a chance!!

I haven't really believed you about the loyalty free thing for a while, but you don't feel the need to discuss it so I'll drop it then. Kudos to you if you do indeed pick up all 3 consoles this gen. I hope you prove me wrong.
