Great, that comment does it for the casual crowd. Now just say it feels like Halo and you'll convert the hardcore crowd.

From what I've seen I would still have to go with the Playstation Move everytime. There's just no room for Kinect to advance without proper controls.. It's always going to be stuck with gimmicky Wii sports-like games.

From what I've seen I'd have to go with neither one every time. Motion controls suck.

So how do you actually move your character with Kinect, I must know this!

He is trying to say:
Mario - both core and casual gaming
Kinetic is the same way.

I just don't see how they get core gaming in there. I don't think there is any doubt that it will be casual gaming, this is where Wii shined. But the real question is core gaming. It took Nintendo a few years to get core games to take advantage of Wii technology, it will be interesting to see how long it takes MS to do the same. And if they can do it at all.

So, anybody can play the game and interpret it based upon their own gaming experiences. Earth-shattering revelation. /s

I was interested in Kinect and still am, but, this interview just made me a little less excited about it. They seem to have given up on the vision they talked about at E3 last year where they were showing people playing Burnout Paradise and that a lot of current titles would support the device. I was thinking about dumping the Wii and getting Kinect to replace it, but, that's not likely to happen if this is the stance that MS is taking with the system. They'd better start dropping the price now or introduce some killer title integration like Halo Reach with a free periphial that makes it useable on Kinect. If they don't this thing will die fast and the only good thing about it will be the fact that we'll be able to find them all over eBay for cheap.
