Using launch games as anything other than short lived entertainment is silly, everyone who has been around for a while in gaming knows that games improve vastly over the course of a console's lifespan.

There used to be a lot of things to complain about with the One, MS have gone and fixed the worst things though so there's really no reason to be whining so much any longer. Some still will though, and will keep on doing after its release and well into its life cycle.

Very true. that was really the point I wanted to make, also that kinect 2.0 is not to pushed off so litely.

The main challenge for Kinect now is being taken seriously, allthough the first one sold very well, it was never really used to do anything useful or worthwhile in gaming and was mostly a novelty for selling very casual titles.

The possibilities are great though, not just in gaming but through social networks, voice and gesture UI and even security measures (face-scan to log into services etc, quicker than typing a password on a gamepad and a lot safer).

We'll see what they can do this time around, one has to assume they have big plans for Kinect 2.0 since it's a part of the standard package and completely mandatory.
