Let us not forget that the Kinect can not register the color black!
When the Kinect finally comes out, it will be exclusive to naked albinos.

Not picking up blacks? I have not seen that yet... to the youtubes/wikipedia/gaming magazines!Nmil-ek said:
Which are, coincidentally, the biggest portion of the "Bieber" fanbase.Hubilub said:
(No offense to any albinos out there.)
I'll get in on that, in fact I'm counting on it. I like the 360 a lot, but I'm hoping Kinect is a failure that never gets past its first year.PayJ567 said:
I think obese people can play, because I bet that the camera looks for the body shape, not the size. Saying that you can't where skirts is fine but baggy clothes.....eh.
While I've thought since the release of the Eyetoy that this sort of thing is nothing but a gimmick anyways, I still recommend my own original remedy for the detection issue: Play naked. If there are other people around, they aren't likely to stick around much longer if it bothers them. If it -doesn't- bother them, then hey, might just be a warm-up to some serious fun later on.
-Not-, I wish to clarify, that I like the idea of Kinect or Move. Maybe there's some slight entertainment involved, but that's just it; it's the same thing with all gimmicks, and it really can't lead to anything better.

Um, who was really expecting Kinect to be a huge hit anyway? This market is already covered by the much less expensive Wii. Kinect apparently has all these limitations, and now you have to only wear certain types or styles of clothing while using it... If you had to wear a turtleneck to play Wii Sports, would you? Of course not. Unless this issue is fixed, I doubt Kinect will go over well. Part of the appeal of gaming is that it's CONVENIENT, it's NOT LIKE WORKING and it is ESCAPISM. I don't need hassle, or reminders that my real-world self is influencing the game I'm playing.
The most immersive gaming experiences are the ones where you forget you're even there, right? You forget you're playing a game, and are just experiencing. That's why games reduce load times, or stream levels off a disc, or work on really great dialogue and an awesome narrative. But if I were playing such a game on Kinect, I would have to stop before playing and wonder, "are my clothes too baggy?" And if I guess wrong, I probably have to pause and go change. So yeah, lame.

Firstly, it's an amazing piece of technology regardless of it's limitations.
Secondly, to all the people bitching because they like wearing baggy clothes or because they think Kinect is a gimmick, grow up. Seriously. If you don't want to buy it. Fine. But don't exaggerate it's weaknesses into something of epic proportions. These are the same people that complained when someone said the Earth was round or the kind of person who claims "A witch did it, let's burn her!" If you stand in the way of the progress of humanity then seriously, go die in a hole. This is nothing to complain about in the scheme of things.
