This interview is out of date. I liked Kinect from launch and valued what it offered. I see the need for it to be a pack in so that developers can produce games or apps knowing that it everyone with an Xbox One can take advantage of what they are offering.
In the UK we DO now have the TV controls via Kinect and it is awesome.
I say 'Xbox On' and it turns on my plasma, AV receiver, satellite box and Xbox. I tell it to call up the One Guide and I can ask it to check what is on any channel, look for films on Amazon Lovefilm, Netflix, or Microsoft's film and video app. I do not need a remote to do any of that. It's quicker, more accurate, and a hell of a lot easier.
