Hi Clement, Yeah, I've heard that too. You got a point. I know just with the experience I have had with the Wii-Motes it is darn hard to do anything precise because the motion sensor in the Wii-Mote usually gives you too much motion or too little motion. While a cool idea in concept it fails to give you the precision and reliability of a standard joystick or game pad. I'm pretty sure this Kinect device by Microsoft will have similar drawbacks.The article did mention bugs in the system, and I'm pretty sure one of them is that the Kinect device won't work with all of the XBox's flagship titles that need a standard controller. Plus some games just don't feel right without a game controller for that matter. For example, you can take any kind of racing game out there you like and it feels quite natural to use it with a racing wheel. All of the controles like the wheel, gear shift, breaks, etc feel in a lot of respects like driving a car. Trying to use motions and gestures to drive a car would frankly be down right weird and not very intuitive in my opinion.
