I don't like Kevin Butler. Taking Sony's typica arrogance and making it funnier only makes it slightly less embarrassing.

Yeah, I was involved in a project developing a smaller indie title with Kinect. I am really not a fan of Kinect, it pretty much sucks and it sucking was a major factor in why our game was never fully developed and released.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I gave Kinect a try only a couple of days ago in Game & honestly it was the least enjoyable gaming experience of my life. It doesn't respond nearly quick enough and the game were pretty dumb!
It took me a long time to warm to the Wii and the game that warmed me up to motion sensing was Sonic Unleashed. This game blended joypad use (general movement & jumping) with motion sensing elements (combat & some more advanced movement) very well. For me this is the way forward with motion sensing, not standing in front of a glorified over priced web cam flailing around like a dumbass. As for Playstation Move I've no desire in slightest to even try it out. If motion sensing ever replaces the humble joypad I'll give up gaming for good!
The Wii does so well because it provides the ultimate in mindless simple multiplayer fun for the CASUAL GAMER! It's obvious neither Microsoft with their stupid web cam & Sony with their plastic light up Wiimote knock off that they really haven't grasped this point!
Kinect Hardware Angry Joe Review – Blistered Thumbs
This guy is usually pretty honest. He brings up some good points and it gives me a pretty good idea what the kinect is like. It's fun, but I certainly don't want to shell that much money for it, and it'll never be more than a gimmicky dance peripheral.
The other games do work quite good on it must be said tried the fitness evolved game today full edition, it's actually very good far better than what I expect from a fitness game. First it won't let you cheat and doesn't reward you for poor performances or lack of effort. To progress to a higher difficulty the task/challenge must first be done on the easy difficulty and it's not afraid to point blank say "you're not ready to move on, try it again" I like that it also through speed of movement and body tracking works out how many calories you've burned and sets goals of realistic calorie burning (first target is 100 calories) The fitness classes work well with the demonstration done by an actual body tracked person not an XBL avatar which is good and doing something like the "Zen" lesson (tai chi) it accurately depicts how good your form is as a percentage and also by highlighting the body parts what are in the right position. I think that this is far superior to fitness games on other formats and since the wii fit balance board has a capacity of 21st weight this which requires someone to input their weight to begin with is likely to be better off for heavily obese people since nothing can break under their weight except the floor lol!
I'm still going to reserve judgement on the Steel Battalion game for when it arrives but so far Kinect looks to have some of the most promising movement control games out there atm though as me and our nintendo rep argued about before eventually agreeing, the wii still has a strong advantage in terms of quantity of quality games if we look purely at Nintendo own "in house" developed games.
I had a go on a Kinect in a store and it is actually a lot of fun! I might ask for one for Christmas...
I just played it with BJ's entire family. I want it. I want it now.
BJ's aunt did punch her son in the eye though. Still, I was impressed.
And thus the only reason for the Kinect's existence comes to light.
I'll just leave this here:
"The Future of Gaming"
Everyone in this thread needs to watch this.
Everytime I do, I can't stop laughing.
I like Kung-Fu.
I hadn't been made aware that Huxley had already brought Kinect! I wonder if he has Dance Central
