Question,What happened with those devs that were working on kinect when MS unbundled it?

I remember that they were passively angry on twitter last year...

This has died a wii motion control fad like death. MS failed to see the market had gotten over it and tried to force it into next gen. That didn't last long and it was soon not made mandatory. 

Has had terrible software support in it's first 14 months and not much on the way either.  

Is this slipping away to be forgotten or will Microsoft try and get some decent software support out for it and try a revival?  

Personally I don't think they've the first party man power to do enough by themselves and i don't see too many 3rd parties wanting to give time to it either. 

 

Thoughts?  

I feel it died the moment MS decided to unbundle it. No dev want to incorporate it and MS 1st parties have their hands full as it is trying to keep up with Sony.
