I'm not really sure for what purpose I would even use a Kinect, so I kinda wanna hold back to see what different ideas developers can come up with.
Ironically, I want one upcoming Kinect exclusive, Sonic FreeRiders, but I would only play it with traditional control.
They're trying something completely new, they don't know who their audience is, I think it's safe to just wait and see what happens.

Tennis is by no means free. You need shoes, a racket, a ball, and a court.

. Controllerless gaming doesn't appeal to me. I prefer to have something to hold and give real time feedback with buttons triggers etc for precision. This is something I think Microsoft have overlooked and Sony/Nintendo have picked up on.I've been very impressed with Move on the PS3 and I reckon I'll pick that up before Kinect. I had a lot of fun playing Move with friends and could even see myself playing it solo too. The tech works really well and there's no need to have a soundstage setup in your living room like with Kinect. IMO Move is also a lot more reasonably priced for what it is too.
For now I already have a Wii (which I love) and a PS2 with an Eye Toy for my motion and controller free gaming

yes, the price is high.
yes, you need some space to play.
yes, direct sunlight on the player will cause tracking trouble.
after that, it works as advertised. and the only one of those three variables that will change is price (lower over time). i've played games with eyetoy and the xbox vision camera. kinect is on a different level. with kinect, tracking is much more accurate (thanks to the IR), and you have to remember that games don't have to be totally kinect centric. you can build a normal experience with kinect integration. a simple example i've used in the past is, imagine playing rockband like you usually would but, if you have kinect, your on-screen player will move like you do. while that isn't 'ground-breaking' or worth the $150, it's a simple example of how kinect can be used other than gimmick gesture games. i'm sure there are developers who are much more creative than i am and will find interesting ways to utilize kinect.
i don't know what most of you people expect. or maybe you guys just want something to complain about. but, after using kinect for the last couple days, i'm pretty sure it can have a place in the future and won't end up in the bargin bin. microsoft has put a lot of money into it and is standing behind it. this isn't something they're going to let go, at least, not easily.

Spent an hour dragging things around, set it up, and was gutted. The projector interferes with the IR :/ PLUS I am in the way fo the screen - dammit, should have thought of that! PMSLSo another hour putting it all back and wired it up to the 50" plasma instead - and I have to say its brilliant :-) I did realise that I'm not as fit as I was a few years ago - 20 minutes of smacking balls and I needed a sit down
Great fun and tbh, for such cutting edge technology I dont think £130 is too much!

Then after a couple hours, you start to realize that as advanced as it is (and I won't deny that it's a cool piece of technology) that it is limited in control . It's just like the Wii in the sense that you play it at someones house for an hour and think you have to have one cause it's so cool, and when you get one you don't play it nearly as much as you thought you would because it just doesn't have that lasting factor. This will probably go over like a lead weight, but I must say that I own the "Move" and the "Kinect" and I love playing my "Move" more. I bought both of them on the day they were sold. 2 1/2 months later, I still play the Move all the time, and less than a month into the Kinect I only play it when my girlfriend wants to play. I'm not going to say that one is better than the other cause it's a little like comparing apples and oranges. Actually, I've made the comparison that it's quantity vs. quality. The Kinect has the quantity in the fact that you have control of both your hands and both legs all the time not to mention it can track your head and full body movement. But the Move has quality controls that make it super competitive. I for one would love it if the two were meshed together (i.e. the Kinect gets a good controller or the move updates it's camara system). But for right now I use my Kinect for party fun, and I use my Move for serious FPS gameplay with MAG and Sports Champions is really competitive fun aslo (it should be an online game which is it's only downfall). I won't deny that both systems will live or die by the games that are made for it, but the as the systems stand the way they are now, if you play both for a good period of time, the Move will appeal to you more as a serious gamer, and the Kinect will appeal more to the Wii/fun gamer.

Nope. I have a feeling it will end up like the Wii: 90% shovelware.
Ditto.
The whole problem with all motion control systems is that most REAL games are simply not possible because you need to beable to perform more actions at once then motion control is able to allow for. Hence why the only games on systems like the Wii where it even remotely works half way decent is the same slop bucket of sport/party/sword/fitness/dance games (and if one looks at the lineup of current and upcomming Kinect games, guess what most of them are). Sure, in those kinds of games it works well enough. But the rest of the games play like crap because of that limitation. Look at Red Steel 2 for example, you can look/aim OR swing your sword, not both. Yeah, f'in brilliant; NOT. Could you imagine if Halo played in a simmilar manor like that: Right stick aim or Left Trigger + Right stick Up to fire gun/Right stick Down to throw grenade, release trigger to aim again, repeat.
'course the Wii still managed to put buttons and a stick in your hands too, which was a slight help, but with this you just have two empty hands. How exactly do I go about running as I'm turning around, aiming, jumping backwards and throwing a grenade at the same time? 
Oh right, there won't be any real games that would allow/require you to have to do anything like that for it. What really sucks is that some of the games that allow the use of it as an option, like Fable 3, are sucky to play even with a real controller because the game interface had to be dumbed down to be compatable. Tho that is more the fault of the game for not supporting different controllers independantly, instead rather obviously, starting with kinect controlls as a base and hobbling real controller input on top of that. I pray other "compatable" games get it right.
Stupid gimicky BS that largely only appeals to the fickle casual gamer minority that will just as quickly move on to the next dumb-ass limited-use shiny object someone comes out with down the road. Comming 2012 the Ear Wiggle followed by the Fart Plug with pack-in game Virtual Trumpet.

another reason is it'll probably flop wanna know why lots of game titles are regurgatated basically between titles and formats very few games are really "NEW' and look at history in gaming its never the best that wins only the first
and im afraid nintendo wii got there first look at the ps3 only crap games that retards play use motion controllers i predict the same thing will happen to this sorry if this is unpallatable to hardcore x360 users but i think this is more about dashes and jtags than moition controllers ive allready read that the kinect dash probably wont be able to run on jtags and that my friends is what this device is all about
p.s. if the new version of forza say incorperates this conntroller are REAL gamers gonna use a biscuit tin lid or their ms wheel? ok maybe once for the gimmick factor but for proper gameplay no chance!

uhh...what? couple things, first a flop? it's sold 8 million units (3 million more then microsofts own expectations) and is a helluva lot of fun... secondly, jtags support kinect (and its dash 2.0.12611.0) as i said, its a helluva lot of fun...

I like the bowling on sports, but can't wait for the Brunswick Bowling to come out. My wife likes the Zumba.
I like the fact that I can get a little exercise while having fun. It won't replace getting outside and getting "real" game play and exercise, but it is good at what it does.
As for hard core gamers, sure, they may not enjoy it. I do envision a weapon controller for getting into a FPS. maybe not as hardcore as MW2 and Black Ops, but maybe Rainbow 6 type games.
My 12 year old granddaughter won four games of boxing against four different opponents in back to back games. Just ask her if that wasn't exercise!
Bottom line, I love it. It works on my JTAG system just fine. I recommend it to everyone that asks.
