"Outside of the dance games, it really never found its calling"
I'm sad to write that "just dance kids edition" equals tears during menu navigation. Works fine during gameplay, its just the wrong UI for anything involving menus or detail work or ... pretty much anything other than dancing.
The fundamental insight of the kinect "problem" is its a transparent interface that people hate about 10% of the time. That sounds great, people love it 90% of the time, right? No, because its transparent, it disappears 90% of the time and all that remains is the boiling cauldron of hate.
As a real world insight into how much people love interfacing with electronics using large motor movements vs pushing buttons on a box, look at how remote controls have completely disappeared from the marketplace and everyone loves changing channels by getting up off the couch and walking around, and its such a great hit of exercise too. Oh wait the marketplace has gone the opposite direction. Yeah that too.
The other part I don't like is Microsoft pays an entire army of astroturfers who have poorly written scripts. Astroturfers should at least show some respect, by not having poorly written scripts. If your astroturfing script looks like a parody of customer support videos or a parody of the wikipedia list of logical fallacies, you're just doin it wrong. Even fanboi trolls are better than bad astroturf scripts.
