Will Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360 shock doubters? Why is there so much resistance against Kinect?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It may and I hope it will. The key is software. There needs to be a nice library of unique games.
Personally I have a wait and see attitude. If the Eyetoy did not fly off the shelves I don't expect much more from Kinect which is, in many ways, very similar in function.
One complaint I am hearing is "It's like a wiimote without buttons" until this can demonstrate interaction with props (ex if it can see you pull a trigger) it will be optimal to use traditional button controls, this could be an easy fix if Microsoft comes out with specialty controls that can be used in combination with Kinect.

I agree that the key is software, but as a side note the last thing I want is to need to purchase a bunch of 'one game only' controllers. That is the reason I never bought any guitar hero or rock band type games and probably won't buy any other 'specialty' controllers.... but rockband and those games are crazy popular so it could work; just not for me.
