Perhaps you're missing something here.
Ask yourself, "what is the point of the OP".
Your OP's point was Rare has only made one kinect game, and therefore using logic, they must not be a kinect-only developer. This statement is used as evidence to substantiate their work on 3 upcoming games, one of which having a AAA budget that may use kinect.
Then you tell people to think. So we did.
Rare has literally 0 personnel left from when they worked with nintendo. They are LITERALLY just a name.
They made Viva Pinata (a creative, good game that never really hit success due to the superficiality of the game).
They made Banjo, which took the series in completely the wrong direction and flopped.
And they made kinect game.
Meanwhile, they had been developing prototypes for games that would then get canceled (which you forgot to mention)
Kameo, Savannah, Conker, Killer Instinct. These games all had been worked on to some degree, killer instinct even planned to use kinect.
We then have an ex employee who says that Rare wanted to work on all kinds of games, and MS wanted them to focus specifically on kid games and kinect. He says MS' vision had greatly demoralized the studio because Rare is known for its diversity, not its kid games. He says MS wanted all their games to use kinect.
So when I read your OP, and then when I consult my own knowledge of Rare, and then am told to 'think', I come up with an answer that says, "this OP is not worth responding to seriously". Fortunately, responding seriously is not a requirement of posting. Nor is anything in that thread considered "trolling"
The answer is, they've not been 'hiding away developing new titles for 720'. They've been developing game after game and getting rejected or canceled over and over. Now you say they have a AAA budget? They haven't made a core game in 5 years. Be careful what you wish for.
PS: I would also suggest you look up what trolling is. :D There is no trolling in that thread XD
