Another impressive aspect is how quickly Kinect hacks are coming out. Some products seem to strike a chord with the enthusiasts, plus all of these things look very cool in videos, which makes for good publicity.
- electromagnetic 16y agoI think it takes a mixture of product quality vs hackability vs popularity. There's little point in being huge in any if you don't have all three. Kinect is insanely popular - by its sales figures. It appears exceptionally hackable - given how quickly and how many hacks have come from it. Finally it appears to be of exceptional quality (at least for the $ value) for these hacks to actually be using it so innovatively.

- mike-cardwell 16y agoWhat proportion of people buy it to hack on rather than to play existing games? 0.001%?
