The headset for voice commands would be a pretty cool idea, Mine would work allot more with voice commands if there wasn't as much noise, Maybe they will bring that in a future update and allow you to do it

The games that arent on the ps4............I wasn't lured by kinnect in the slightest. I was lured by killer instinct DR3 (promised dedicated servers in cod ghost) later on titan fall. And the fact that I'm so deeply invested in MS as it is. I hope they bring back all those arcade games I bought over the 360.

Sony started the motion controls in 2004 when no other surviving console brand was using motion controls as an alternative way to game. In the R&D Videos they began development on the move two years before the Wii came out (immediately after the Eyetoy launched) because they said you are essentially stuck in min-game hell no matter how powerful the camera gets. I will agree that the move controls do resemble the Wii-mote, but Sony noted that in order for a 3D realm to be controlled while the camera motion process is going on you must have a peripheral in your hand. The move allows you to control the 3D world via a analog stick in the controller and the motion control 1:1 tracking allows you to accurately swing. Even with the Wii motion plus the Move is still more accurate. Primesense was going to give their tech to Sony but Sony turned the tech down because they deemed that tech limited. Eventually Microsoft got their hands on it and that is what is known as the Kinect today. 

Essentially the break down is Sony got the idea down before the both of them for how it should properly work to play real games. Well Microsoft never had an idea they just bought someone elses product. Not only can you move and control the 3D world but you can manipulate it. I implore you to look at the games called 'The Fight' vs 'Punch Out' vs 'The fighter Within'. Even last gen tech Move and Wii are more accurate than the current Kinect. The move demands full use of your body motion and swinging. 

Microsoft will not add objects to the Kinect because they've been selling a lie. If you add to it, its a cop out. Ryse becoming a non-kinect game should've been the first indicator of failure for the Kinect 2 to the world. The problem is...people will always justify paying $100 extra for a device that at true value for what you're getting is probably worth half and should be left up to choice rather than force bundled. MS is smart, they knew the fanfare for motion controls had died down. How do you turn a profit on motion control tech when you no longer want to take the risk on people turning it down themselves? Force bundle it. Create artificial demand. Problem for MS now is that they will have to create loads of software to make up for ramming it down peoples throats.

At best its a Dance Central min-game camera and multimedia scroller. The commands are nice when they do work. Again, this is just my opinion after using the Kinect 2. Xbox Snap can be accessed wit a controller. Kinect isn't needed. You get to the main screen quicker by just pressing the Xbox button and once everything is pinned to your front area your primary access items are well within reach. They need to fix the leagues of walls that you must go through to get to your destination. Once they fix that the Kinect might not even need to be around (especially seeing that they added the headset). Again...just my opinion.

There's no option to pay less. Every Xbox One comes with a Kinect. Not everyone likes Kinect. Alot of people like Xbox. The people who like Xbox will buy Xbox One. Those who buy Xbox One but aren't into Kinect will keep it turned off. Make sense? Kinect isnt the biggest reason to own an Xbox One. It's all about the games. I mean, do you honestly expect every single Xbox owner to use Kinect just because it ships with the console? I don't keep it on even though I find some features useful (auto sign-in, scanning). When I'm on Xbox One I'm either gaming or watching netflix. All my games and Netflix are pinned to the home screen. Simple navigation to the left and a click of a button and its booting. No confusion what-so-ever and it works 100% of the time. When I'm playing a game I will constantly have to say, "Xbox, stop listening" because it thinks I'm talking. Voice recognition my arse. It's even signed other people in when I sat in front of the Kinect. I leave it unplugged.

^^^^Why aren't you proud? Sometimes the simplest things said can lead to meaningful posts and long discussions. It's a team effort.

Done it twice and it still gets a few problems mainly on Ryse, It's either sound problems from my other tv or maybe the way I say the words, But allot of the time I just say it louder and it works =/
