“Hey wow Kinect! COOL! Let’s turn it on… Woah look I’m driving with my hands… Oh look I can kick an invisible ball… (ten minutes later)… This is so awesome… haha, woohoo… I wonder what’s on TV (turns off Kinect) SIMPSONS!!”

Do we really WANT to move around to play games? Do we really want to wave our arms and legs around in the air to control the action on the screen? Is that really so fun (after 10 minutes?) I don’t think so.

Yes the Wii is super successful but at least that had something you can hold, something tangible.

The Kinect is ridiculous. It’s gonna fail in the long run. It may get a lot of sales from curious people to start with but that will quickly decline.

If we want to work out, we go to the gym, not play the Kinect. If we want to play games we let our thumbs do the exercise while we’re seated on our comfortable couches.

Xbox 360 is a good machine. And in my opinion it’s more fun to play and use than the PS3. It has better user interface, better controller, and sometimes even better graphics.

But the Kinect? Pah-leeeeaassse!

So what do you think about the Kinect? Discuss…

Thanks,
