If the kinect were to release today with all the same games (sport,adventures etc) it would be a smash hit
My friend had a Xbox kinect , and we played all the time , it was so fun , I thought wow this was a hit , I wish I had my own , but now looking back ( as I wish to purchase one today) I see it failed , is was a phenomenon to me , it had everything, It made me a jedi, mjs back up dancer , sporty and adventurous.
I hope Xbox releases a new kinect console ( though it would deffo be out my budget, I'd recommend it to everyone I know ) .
Edit : did no one play star wars kinect(dances and light saber and racing ) or the micheal Jackson experience(dancing), kinect adventures(obstacle wipeout esq game), kinect sport .
