the negativity towards Kinect is nothing more than paranoid, idiot logic.

The negativity towards kinect is absolutely justified since it practically adds no value to the console whatsoever to the eyes of the general audience. The software on the first kinect was uncool and microsoft will likely continue giving pathetic software for it. A different approach to game controls isn't the issue with kinect. It is the awful software that keeps it from being worthwhile to many eyes of the PS4/X1 gamers. What's more is that bundling a worthless accessory only hurts microsoft more in the long run.

This times a thousand, the thing is with Kinect, it's awesome for dancing games but with the original Kinect there is Dance Central (3 or 4 of them) Just dance (maybe 3-4 too) the Experience games (MJ and Black eyed peas) they're all really cool but outside of that genre there isn't really a whole ton you can do with it. Rise of nightmares showed us that it's just not possible for people to be expected to stand on one foot or walk on the spot through a 10-15 hour campaign to navigate around it. I guess fitness games can be done with Kinect fairly well... but they've been done over and over and over it's just it's very hard to expand on games like dancing and fitness, those are games which came out on kinects launch and a little there after, and now each new addition adds nothing more than a handful of new songs to dance to or older classics which weren't covered in the other 10 dancing games before... the real popular stuff.

As for bundling it so everyone has it and we all love it.... NO it doesn't work like that, Google currently trying to Bundle Google+ along with being able to Comment on youtube has made people hate google+ even more than when they just didn't care about it, now they care it exists and want it gone. Bundling stuff together doesn't mean you're going to like the extra thing because you have to take it with what you wanted.... otherwise people would be a whole lot happier about bundled STD's with Sex.

Yeah... I really can't point out much more how Kinect does dancing games well... but what can you do with a dance game which hasn't been done by these 15 or so titles?
