As long as it still has voice navigation, I'm in. Imaging browsing those sites without having to free your hand to use your keyboard and mouse.

Not only will we have hands free porn navigation, but we could use the kinect to monitor our heart-rate and it can tell us when we've had just the right amount of porn before we give ourselves a heart attack.

This device is gonna save lives.

Good thing the consoles looks don't matter right? or so I was told in February. Anyway, indies did fun things with the original Kinect, can't wait to see some of what they do with this one.

considering the boost in popularity the first kinect got from the mods and the interest that innovative entrepreneurs had it in its no surprise. I'n the gaming community kinect is heavily criticized for its downfalls in a majority of its games and even when theres good games that do come with the kinect it s till receives a lot of hate really them releaseing a PC version of the kinect 2 would do more good than bad for them. I mean just look at what that one dude did with the PC kinect and the occulous rift it was literally everything you needed for VR gaming except for room which the kinect 2 allows for a smaller amount of i believe add in the older kinect skyrim demo and other demonstrations of things like finger tracking,shooting, and free movement and you have everything needed to make or mimic every game with kinect controls. It could work but that's my nostalgic opinion from what ive seen kinect 1 can do that's rarely seen by a large margin of the gaming community.

Not really. It's a ploy to get a lot of developers to make a lot of stuff, apps in particular, for the Kinect before the X1 is out. MS have game devs to dabble with the Kinect but they still need a lot of other non-gaming developers to make apps for the non-gaming features of the X1.

Over a year ago everyone laughed at DX11 in PC gaming for being pitiful (not many games/game dev using it). Then after BF3 and early teases of next gen consoles suddenly everyone's experimenting with the API. By the time next gen is out, there would be a lot of DX11 capable console games and Kinect-based apps ready for MS devices.

I like kinect and i wouldn't either not until I had seen what modders can do with the thing on games like they did with the previous kinect.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Let me be clear. This is sarcasm
