Would be awesome if Kinect can tell when I'm about to get down and dirty and turn on some sweet love making music.

Wow...at wall of text!, at Massive PR spin, at considering kinect revolutionary (as opposed to reactionary, which we all know is what it was). How can someone link to this with a straight face? Especially after Microsoft already did an about face and essentially took Kinect out behind the barn and shot it.

Console wise you are right but on PC their is some nice stuff with it. Especially the RIFT+Kinect is an incredible experience.

I did the iron man demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei3k65wwylo and seeing your hands for the first time was amazing. Planning is this year we get the CV1 Rift for the market expect some Kinect related tech in the near future.

The only purpose I see for Kinect is working with VR. Something like VR Kinect Sports would be awesome.

Kinect is great tech but I have no idea why they bundled it if they had no intention to use it. Crazy how poorly judged the X1 launch was.

LOL Microsoft isnt good at pushing the envelope (Outside of OS). Why cant they just be happy with bringing PC gaming to consoles? They should stick with that. They are much better at finding other peoples IP's.
