Nah the 32x had a few good games and wasn't actually that bad, just came out the wrong time and Sega had no intention of supporting it. MS has put it's full weight behind Kinect (for them at least, they are hardly the game releasing power house Sony is, let's be honest). Kinect is just flawed mess and 32x was a friendly mushroom.

in terms of number ms and sony are about on par publishing wise with this gen of console....
and kinect ain't flawed at that price tag.... it's like if you buy a moped don't expect it to ride like duggati on the interstate.... it's like expecting the same performance from a 200 dollars tablet than a 1000 bucks laptop.... it does it's job... and people talking abour lag on the dash.... i defy you to go anywhere faster starting with an off pad than with voice command.... beside games i rarely use the pad anymore.... and i can do so much more now.... like typing on vgchartz forums while navigating netflix or zune..... or even eat without greassing up my pads etc.... for 150 i wasn't expecting anything close to minority report so in that regard i'm quite satisfied... i just wish you had more kinect integration from devs....

I think that sums up my view, genuinely was expecting something at least resembling Minority Report, obviously not quite like that but you know. Kinect can be had quite cheap now but I believe it was £149.99 over here on release, although quickly dropped to £129.99 which was the price I originally payed, granted it can be had now for about £70 every now and again which is a fair price.
I guess I only have myself to blame really, should have waited. Deep down it's not even Kinect itself that is my problem, it's that there isn't an alternative that can actually pull off what it does. If it combined the best bits of move, like the accuracy it would be a dream come true for me.
I respect your comment on the dashboard, but there's still that wait for everything, when it shouldn't be hard to have things be a bit snappier. I'm sure that could be improved somehow since the variables for processing are totally controlled by MS at dashboard level use, if that was made so there wasn't a 1 second pause between each command it would just feel so much more integrated and not a chore.
I'm sure if I used it for a few days and forced myself not to use the controller it would grow on me and maybe I'd find it a genuine replacement for the controller...Might give that a go, it's been a while and it is just sitting there above the TV doing nothing and making me look at it with scorn every morning at the money wasted lol.
