Kinect was sillier than wii.

[Machiavellian]

I believe the problem with Kinect is not the hardware but the software and and the Xbox. To have a device trully map your motions is the holly grail but in order for it to do so, it needs way more power than then the current Xbox had at that time. Kinect with VR would be the the ideal setup and who knows someone might build such a device. As for games, Kinect needed VR to complete itself. To many gaming companies tried to shoehorn traditional mouse/ keyboard or even gamepad type games to the device which always made Kinect feel tacked on. I would love for MS to bring back the device using their AR hololens or even use it with a VR solution and upgrade the software recognition for faster response.
