the stuffed suit that loved kinect was mattrick.  Kinect was his baby, but he is gone now.  Phil spencer doesn't seem to have much interest at all in pushing kinect down people's throats.  I wouldn't be surprised to see voice commands on xbox without kinect soon.  

Mattrick may be gone, but there are PLENTY of other executives that were part of his team that are still there and still pushing the "old" vision.  You still see it in comments from Phil too...like "we are sure most people are going to want a Kinect", etc.  They may have released a Kinectless sku, but make no mistake, they are still pushing it...even to the point of touting 2 Kinect games during E3!

well, it is still their product, they are still going to market it and support it.  However, there is a difference between supporting a product and forcing people to use a product. 

I think the new leadership at xbox has promise, but I could be wrong.  I guess we will see as this gen moves forward.  Everything I have seen since phil took over has me optimistic though.
