What was the whole point of Kinect 2?

Kinect was meant to be a reason to get a xbox one game over a ps4 game - they envisaged every game would be 'better with kinect' and have 'kinect exclusive features'
they thought the cost of kinect would justify the money that came in from people choosing xb1 game over ps4 game, but it didnt work out

Since both actually had this camera/kinect concept at first, I'm not sure this is entirely correct. The PS4 dropped it to undercut the price of the X1. To combat that, the X1 should have really made use of the kinect to show what it could really do, but backed down like a dog with its tail between its legs. Now we really have near clone consoles with very little differentiating them in any way with the exception of a few exclusives on either side. In the end, it will make very little difference which console someone picks up now, they will likely just go for the cheaper option because they are mostly buying these consoles for the new COD or other massive third party sellers that really actually eclipse most first party... As sad as that is. 

maybe they didnt show anything becasue there was nothing to show. All the talk of smart glass and what not wasnt ready to be shown becasue they were still probably working on it or worse case it was BS to begin with. From what ive played 2.0 didnt even work that much better than the original and thats not something you wanna bring attention too.
