No, let parents decide.

Also, what about midgets?

......And lose millions of sales on Halo and Call of Duty?

No way. Publishers would be vehemently opposed to this.

It'll make the community a lot better though.

Nah, here's your xbox one target demographic:

Trend: Seniors Using Webcams For Remote Babysitting
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/12/trend/

Skype and iChat programs have become more dependable, less prone to cut off connections. Webcams have improved their resolution feed, and some have even added silly features that can appeal to children. And speech recognition accuracy and improved noise canceling features have toned down the previously ubiquitous problem that was ambient background noise.

It all makes sense now.

People seem to be assuming that this means the Kinect would automatically "detect" minors and block them from playing M-Rated games.

Rather than the much more feasible possibility of using it to aid Parental Controls. You know, Kinect will recognize certain family members... parents tell it not to play for certain ones... bam, no big brother, just parents.

Seems reasonable compared to what's already being done with Kinect.

fuck no they'd be losing to much money



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

That's 99% of the CoD crowd. Not going to happen.

Kinect can recognize people, but is it time tested? A child may look appreciably different from one year to the next. Also, what if the child put on a mask or something to that affect? How good is it really at detecting people?
