You sound almost exactly like a certain Mr Ballmer when he dissed smartphones and tablets since normal phones and computers in so many ways were superior products :). I always use Kinect with Netflix nowadays. Using the controller might in some ways be more effective but the very concept of not having to use anything but your voice and hands to control your media center is very attractive to alot of us looking for improved experiences. I am not in the console industry to have the most effective time with my favourite console: in that case I would have gone with a computer and keyboard/mouse since they will always be technically beyond and above any controller. Why do you think people get excited by tings like virtual reality and such is not because gaming becomes more "effective", but more immersive. That is what I also look for in my media experience, and Kinect offers just that. |
virtual reality increases immersion within an environment. Completely different. Kinect requires more work to get around. Not to mention we've already seen Kinect. There's no wow factor when you're just making another thing that people already have. You don't like my phrasing? Fine. How about it's more intuitive. It's either use your voice and hands to control something or use just your hands and get there faster. Besides like I said if it becomes a big demand (which it's clearly not right now) they can easily patch it in.
