Microsoft Kinect Expectations

Microsoft's new Kinect, previously known as Project Natal, will soon be launching, so what are you expecting? It's very important that Microsoft can pull this product off with no problems or flaws, because it wouldn't be hard for another company to bring out another product very similar, and possibly even better than it.

Microsoft Kinect has huge potential, as it could easily destroy the Wii console and make the Xbox 360 more family friendly. However there is always the issue of price. Microsoft Kinect is priced at $149.99 which is around £140, so for something that is literally an add-on for your gaming console, it is quite expensive.
