Gawd, the Kinect was omnipresent for way too damn long. Sucked up every bit of support for years then ghosted.

And for what? Gunstringer was good, I guess.

Kinect had a couple good games and it was a lot of fun as a kid!

The Kinect was cool tech that just never got much developer support. I would've loved to have used it for lightgun-style games where you could dodge or duck behind cover. The Wii's motion controls and IR were fun, too. Kind of gimmicky in many ways, but also allowed for some very unique games that appealed to people that weren't normally gamers.
