I never was a fan of the Kinect. I tried it on the Xbox 360 and was never impressed. True, the device was useful for dancing games. But for every other game aside from dancing games? It sucked. Now, Microsoft is selling Xbox One consoles with Kinect. I think they are not selling an Xbox One without a Kinect bundled in. Do you smell ripoff?
Actually I do. I thought the Kinect was great but when I tried it first hand I was so disappointed. And the Kinect has not that much use for any games other than what you mentioned already. I think if Microsoft stops shoving Kinect into our throats then the Xbox One will have never fall behind the PS4.
