Why do people act like the Kinect is the first of its kind to grace the gaming industry?

It's not the first of it's kind.  It's more capable than anything that has come before, as far as hands free goes, and it's packed with every console.  That's the difference maker.

Well we will have toi disagree, early reports are it still has issues, and I think it will still be relegated to mainly gimmicky add-onsand voice control. Full motion gaming is Not going to work.

That's fine.  I'm sure it will have issues--just not as much as Eyetoy, PS Eye, Live Vision, or Kinect 1.0.  I'm not getting a next gen console this year, anyway.  I'm happy with my PS3/360/Wii U (got it last year).  I just see what the potential appeal could be.  I'll wait until the software and reviews come but I'm fairly optimistic.  Microsoft is betting the farm on it so they must know something.
