will certainly be revolutionary


People were saying the same thing on forums back in 2007/08 when the Kinect was being showcased(at the time it was codenamed "Project Natal". Some people honestly believed it was going to be a game changer and was going to put the 360 in front. Even popular media outlets were in on the hype:

We all know how the Kinect went. Whilst it sold well, it never did live up to the hype and never changed the standard. Kinect 2.0 has been dropped almost entirely with very little software being developed for it. I see the Hololens as being even more niche as the cost of the unit will be even more than the Xbox1 which makes it incredibly prohibitive for most people.
