It doesn't have to be perfect it just has to work that is all. That doesn't mean that it has to be glitch free, quirk free, with the same features as the other two interfaces. All three interfaces have their quirks, their glitches and they all have various features which don't translate to the other interfaces.

In the end of the day, the Eyetoy sold what? 10M units on some of the most quirky/glitchy gameplay ever. Kinect has fewer glitches and performs even better than that and it appears to be getting significantly more support from both the manufacturer and 3rd parties.

It doesn't really matter how crappy the interface is. All the interfaces are crappy from at least one perspective and that encompasses mouse and keyboard, touch screens and dual analogue sticks along with Wiimote, Move and Kinect. They just have to be somewhere between good enough and good to allow for people to be entertained in using them. In the end the best possible outcome is that people get entertained in using the interface, the games will be doing that.

The ironic thing is that for some people the glitches would probably add to the enjoyment of the console.

ign are pure dumba$$'s and i dont believe a damn word they ever say about anything, it seems they never cared or liked kinect in the 1st place . so now they are just bluntly saying so even more. 

So Kinect is like Windows then. Interesting to know.

Windows 7 just happens to be the best OS ever made so, I can only hope Kinect is as good as it is.

Yes, I have tried most versions of Mac, and tons of Linux stuff.  

Hm.. nope that goes to Ubuntu 10.4

yes that linux stuff is good for you.

I don't see how anyone can say that Ubuntu is the best os ever made.   I have had several versions of it over the years and while it is a really good OS it is no where near Win7.  

An example:

When I upgraded from Vista ( which was shit), I had no problems whatsoever with the process.  It found all the drivers and everything worked like a charm.  On the other hand when I tried upgrading a couple of computers at work to  Ubuntu 10.4 I had more problems than it was worth.  Finding drivers was an event in its own.  And for a lot of computers you either have to make your own drivers or have someone do it for you.  Good luck with that.  

While Eventually Linux may be better than Windows at some time in the distant future, it is no where near as good right now.  Compatability issues, driver issues and install issues alone should prove to most that 10.4 still has a ways to go.  And until the majority of people use Linux, there will always be issues with compatability.

Compatability isn't an issue on Linux  , because its a freeware OS , and that you can always download wine for example it works with Steam games, i have Windows 7 on my work PC, a lot of times it crashes with the simplest stuff (a lot less times than Vista but ALOT compared to Ubuntu) , also its pretty slow and "Heavy" compared,

while the Pros of Win7 is that the a lot of programs feels "Officially" supported when using it, while on ubuntu it thinks that you are using Windows but they both work the same most of the time, also another Con for Windows is the fact that its the only OS with viruses, even though to be honest i've never had a virus all my time using Windows 94 - win7 and in between,i only had was spyware which is another issue as well.

so you saying its the best OS ever is kinda ... you know wrong?

Holy jizz i went too much offtopic.

back to topic, i still don't think IGN should be taken seriously, they're the most popular game site but they're the most mainstream whores on teh internet.

Who the hell would moneyhat IGN to bash Kinect? Sony has just become profitable again, and Nintendo is too busy counting its money and tallying up future income.

Mainstream not moneyhat.
