That is just garbage. Kinect is around 25 million in sales, MS have the knowledge, experience and resources to back that up and sell Kinect 2 just as well.

God knows how it got to 25 million. The amount of noticeable games on it was abysmal, same goes for the PS Move. I'm sure MS were doing the Scrooge McDuck money pool dive while the people who bought a Kinect wondered what the fuck they could do with it after a week....tops.

kinect is my most used feature of my xbox 360. I am getting the xbox one solely because no other companie in the world right now offers what it does with voice controls. Its going to make my entertainment watching even more enjoyable than kinect 1 did. I cant wait. when the kinect 2 gets released for pc, I will get it for that too. The closest thing to kinect right now are tvs with voice(which only work for your tv, not all the entertainment apps that xbox has, nor my cable box, and cost a lot more). I would hope some company could compete with MS in this area so the xbox one would be cheaper, but no has stepped up to the plate yet.

Alright, fair enough. This is a market for Kinect, but you have to at least admit that Kinect was not handled well as far as its implementation with games. For all the install base they grabbed, they really did not do much with device it self. Albeit, things like controlling the dashboard and commands on different games are cool, they aren't revolutionizing anything anytime soon.

Haha love the rick grimes pic, even though the show is massively overrated and even poor at times.
It is laughable people say Kinect makes the entertainment expereince vastly better. Voice is more of a hindrance and an annoyance to me, I know many cannot stand voice activated anything. it is a gimmick nothing more. Same thing with gaming. When I am sitting home watching a show, how does kinect enhance anything? It doesn't.
Ms is betting too much on it and are going to lose.
Even nintendo has abandoned the motion fad.

Kinect is not just motion, its motion and voice. Kinect is the next step in interfaces. I didn't get it for games. I got it for media use, and it has revolutionized it. Phones are using more and more voice control, some are even adding motion control too. Gesture interface is very similar to touch(which I honestly dont use, as I dont like touch interfaces etheir), which everyone is getting more adapted to since smart phones and tablets use it. Have you had the pleasure of using a kinect to watch media? With kinect 2 basically removing my need for 3-4 remotes i use on a daily basis I cant help but be excited. I dont know if you have heard of the open living room kitchen concept, but if you have and like to cook and watch tv, or do things around the house and watch tv, or simply be freed from your remote, kinect is a must.
