I don't care. Every progression of innovative game controls brings us closer and closer to total convergence. Where's my neural plugin, goddammit?!

The poll is surprisingly.........not what I thought it would be.

If this is what core gamers think....then when taking casuals in account it looks promising

YES IT IS.

Kinect is a huge mistake for the xbone

+1. The best feature being able to bark in COD: Ghosts. Bring Slimebeast back to the game.

I think there is not enough choice in your poll.
I said "yes", but I do not particularly think it makes it "superior" but more an in-between...
It is definitely a nice addition and I see a lot of potential; but I would go for the Xbox One even without it; I'm glad it includes it.

Definitely not essential or worth an extra $100, I would rather have it be optional.

- More trouble moving the console to a different room, which I do regularly
- Playing at night time voice commands defeat the purpose of headphones.
- I have kids, the thing will be moved / bumped into on a daily basis, the tv is too thin to put it on top.

Let it be like the ps eye which I can pull out and plug in when I want to do some motion gaming.

Watching your friends while playing might be nice for some people, not for me though, let it be optional. You could all buy $20 webcams too. And watching random people's reactions during play, no thanks, not after burnout paradise's butt shots.

If a user base of 20 million people that want Kinect isn't going to do it, why would a bigger user base, half of which will avoid the game or ignore the Kinect features do any better? Forcing it on everyone didn't do much for the Wii Mote or the Sixaxis, and isn't doing much for the WiiU gamepad so far. Why would Kinect be any different.

I personally think the standard touch pad on the ps4 controller can do more for games then Kinect in every box, although that will also be held back by multi-platform games.


I'm still interested in trying it out some time when the price comes down. I was tempted to buy a Kinect for $50 used currently, but with the xbox one around the corner I'll wait another 1-2 years to get the better version.

NO...anyone who insists it is...is drinking the cool aid

Anyone who passes on the ONE doesn't need it.  And when I asked the question, I was asking if you need the camera for personal usage.

I have a question: What item for sale, which has early adopters, has features that don't interest the early adopters, but interests less core audience later on?
