Kinect 1 didn´t work. It plain and simple wasn´t functioning like it was supposed to do. 100% body tracking just doesn´t work for traditional games, think about it: how does your typical 3rd person/first person protagonist behave in your standard game ? Jump, Swing/Shoot your weapon/Sword, Move around (!), Climb etc. Those actions are absolutely not transfarable to a Kinect-only game, the traversal alone is almost impossible to replicate with Kinect so you end up with on-rails games like Fable:The Journey. Kinect doesn´t work with games that demand precision and games that have you moving your character. Heck, the Wiimote and the Playstation move are far better, Shooters play like a charm on them.

Even that is not universally loved. Sacrificing easy camera control for faster aiming is a bad trade off for me. If your playstyle involves a lot of running around then turning corners with wiimote and move quickly becomes a chore. Even worse when free camera movement is removed like in Zelda, I find it very annoying that you can't look around anymore.
