Plus, they cannot make real games for the Kinect, they can only do gimmicks. Why do you think the Star Wars games and the Fable game coming out are on the rails crap. There is no way to make a real video game on the stupid thing. Until they can do an actual Castlevania/Metal Gear/God of War type video game with letting you have 100% control of the character with no lag or movement issues, the device is utter crap.

A lot of the dance and fitness games work really well and do manage to pick up on subtle hand gestures, without a time delay. Considering this is a fitness/training game, I don't see the problem. A lot of the unlicensed hacks also show how accurate it can be with movements and the voice recognition.. Most of the time, it's just developers being utterly incompetent. The Sonic Racing game is utterly terrible, but when was the last time there was a good Sonic game?

They can't really do "real" videogames for it, but that's clearly not what they're trying to do with it. So meh. It's a good piece of tech that will have useful applications.. Someday. Just probably for PC's and not shoehorned as a casual gaming device.
