Reported for calling yourself a fanboy. 

Simple: they spent way too much on the Kinect and need to get their money back

Luckily the batteries don't come out a ps3/ps4 controller :) The remote is indeed a problem, lost in the couch or dropped on the floor with the batteries gone. Remember to put it somewhere safe. There is always the WiiU gamepad to change the channel.
Kids are crafty, ours are 2 and 4 (I should have had kids earlier) and nowadays we wake up finding both kids in our bed with the tv turned on tuned into tree house. They could punch in the right channel before they learned to count.

I have everything routed through an amp, both hdmi and component video sources. The xbox one doesn't fit in the chain with 1 hdmi input. Nor would my wife approve of having another box in between. Luckily our able box remote can control the sound of my amp as well, saved the marriage! jk. XBox One's added search options are a nice idea, but so was TVii. We used that for less than a week before simply going back to the cable box menu. We actually asked our cable provider for a downgrade to the previous version of their menus as they respond faster with more channels per screen than the flashy new HD design. It's not perfect by far, searching for a particular program can be a pain. Still not annoying enough to use their 'smart glass' (it's just a browser page people) version that can do all that and program both our cable boxes over the internet.

In the end it's all about control. With a pvr we got some control back by recording what we like and skipping commercials. The writing is already on the wall with our cable provider's video on demand service. 'free' of charge for tv shows (should be for what we pay for cable in Canada) but they lock out anything except pause so you're stuck watching the commercials.

Huge potential in the amateur porn industry which would bring money in for MS.

i only want to know when will be possible to develop for XBO and this kinect for myself.
i want to interact to arduino and control my house with kinect.

Eh, hem, sorry to but in, but I'm still waiting for my autographed copy.

An Kinect maybe worth it right now, but is certainly worth it as we move forward.  They really uped the tech in that more than CPU or  GPU and they did upload those.

I just wonder if maybe they should  have waited for DDR4 memory to be finalized.  As that's what's on all the leaded documents, and should have been ready for launch.
