While I've never owned a Kinect, I can say that my roommates and I all love the gamepad. The dudebro COD player has even said it's the greatest gaming invention ever. An overstatement,of course, but it meant he was able to play ACIV while his wife watched HGTV. In fact, I spend more time using off-tv play than actually playing on the big screen since it's a bit more... 'private'. I'd just pop in my headphones and enjoy some DK. I don't understand why everyone bashes it so hard. It's surprisingly light and I've never had a problem holding and using it, and I have itty bitty baby hands.
I personally don't see much use in the Kinect outside of added convenience in issuing commands but I can't give a fair assessment since I've never used it.
