Why make a thread about a product you have doubtfully even used? And why answer the question that you haven't used? That is the questions that i have in this thread.
Kinect 1 - It was simply not good. Not good for gaming and had no other use.
Kinect 2.0 - Used as a multimedia hub it is magnificent. XBO literally revolves around Kinect 2.0 and gives you a unique experience not to be had on other consoles. At any given time i can change games by saying them, turn off my console, switch to tv, record gameplay, turn netflix on, skype, turn my volume up/down, go to internet by simply saying it.
The accuracy is very well and very impressive. Everybody who has seen my XBO is highly impressed and has left wanting one, going so far as facebooking their impression after leaving.
More importantly most poeple buying an XBO has been talking good about it rather than badly. This is where my main question comes in. Why are you talking about something I doubt you've tried.
Is it good for games? No, and i dont ever believe it will be and i dont think their is some misconception about this. Even Microsoft studios are abandoning Kinect as the main function. Rare Ltd even came out and said when Kinect first came out there was a lot of emphasis to use it. Now that it is included with Xbox we are to only use it when it makes the game better. Use it where it is good and dont where it isnt.
Can it be used in games - Yes. It can do cool things in games as long as a controller is still the primary controls.
I will say it this way. It isnt meant as a way to revolutionize gaming anymore. It is meant to revolutionize your living room and your experience with the console. As i said before I dont think there is much misconception about this.

i dont need to use the Kinect to comment and convers about its status in the industry and its popularity. i have no doubt about it, Kinect is a great great piece of tech, and the kinect 2.0 is an ever more outstanding piece of tech. but we are talking about its popularity here. and the reason i ask this is because the Kinect blew up 3 years ago, but now i see many many consumers complaining about it, saying they dont want it. The reason why i commented on the performance of kinect is to explain my opinion on why i think it just might be a fad, my opinion on its performance isnt what this thread is about though, its the kinects popularity.
Fad: an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze.
The popularity of Kinect seems to fit perfectly to that describition, and i am wondering if that craze will ever happen again to the Kinect 2.0 and if it was a right choice for microsoft to bundle it with each Xbox One?
There are people who like the kinect and like it a lot, and i understand that. but is it the huge system seller that Kinect for 360 once was?
also, thanks for giving me an actual well thought reply, instead of calling me a fanboy who needs to pick on something because i lost the graphics edge, my god....
