Not really no, Kinect is a minor advancement on the pseye so minor Sony passed it up in favor of move, which is effectively capable of everything Kinect is and a ton of stuff it isn't, if you plan on waiting for better games to come out for kinect you'll be waiting a very long time since they aren't going to come what you see is what kinect is capable of, alot of people disagree but I ask you this, where are the tech demos? Move has like 4 of them, showing what it can be capable of, ps3 had a ton aswell and even the 360 had a few, if kinect was capable of something more MS would have gave us a glimpse by now, but it's not so they are just pretending it is, anyways it's your call but the tech isn't that impressive MS is just marketing it well

try looking around the internet for what people have done with hacked kinects. The device is capable of TONS of stuff. There are some pretty incredible things people are doing with kinect. Sony saying they passed on the kinect is just marketing mumbo jumbo. They didn't want to take the risk and they are probably kicking themselves now.
OT: I have a kinect, and I really like it. Although, I will admit that a lot of my enjoyment is coming from the wow factor of the new technology (not so much the games actually being all that fun). The games aren't very good to play by yourself, but are great for party's and the great thing about them is the accessibility for non-gamers (people that have never played a video game in their life). The wii did a pretty good job about opening that door, but not in the same way that kinect can. For example, I had my 92 year old grandma playing dance central on thanksgiving to the lady gaga song pokerface. Needless to say, those pictures are being saved! :)
