Definately not. I now suspect its adoption rate will be too poor to justify significant future support.

You're joking, if history proves anything, MS will batter that square peg till it fits in the round hole.
Even if it gets a poor reception which I don't think it will, I just can't see kinect not being part of their next gen console.
No. The concept is good though, and I'd buy a next-gen console with a kinect-like device (and some damn controller altogether).
I already have a PSEye so MOVE will be pretty cheap for me, just $50 to get me started, plus it has a good casual and core lineup for the first couple of months after launch, so I will be going that route. Plus some of the titles I already ownwill be patched with MOVE support so I don't need to get a game right away.
Kinect has quite a few problems for me that prevent me from ever buying it. Well, not buying it anytime soon anyways.
#1.) Believe it or not $150 is out of my price range right now for a peripheral.
#2.) I do not have enough room to use it. Currently in a small apartment while the lady is finishing up LPN school. I have maybe ~3ft. tops between my TV and couch at the moment, both up against opposing walls and I am NOT moving a couch every time I want to play a video game. I wouldn't even know where I could move the couch.
#3.) No games I would want to play.
So a fairly small apartment right now plus lack of $150 plus no games that interest me on top of a 13 month old baby running around and leaving toys everywhere makes Kinect an impossibility for me.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

If history proves anything, it doesn't matter how much you will something to sell if it doesn't appeal due to price vs value then it won't.
A PS3 with poor game support and a $600 price tag didn't sell, so why should a peripheral sell for $150 if the same applies? At least with the PS3 you knew the games would definately come. Which is how I justified buying the launch console. With this you cannot.
Day one.... My wife and daughter will love this thing.
You wanna have your opinion, then you have to respect different opinions as well.
Nah im not intrested.Doesn't appeal to me.
