Maybe that was MS' problem. People that buy a 1st gen (2010) and still using it. Not upgrading it. Not replacing it. MS can't possibly profit off of it when only 1 kinect per lab is bought.

That's definitely a huge part of it. But MS would still be happy to lose money on kinect if game makers were making nice games for it.

The only game in my house that could ever utilize it was the original Dancing games from the demos. The last time I saw my daughter playing it, she was holding her phone, and using it for the sensor instead of the kinect through their integrated app.

I asked why she would do that? Just plug in the kinect and use it, don't risk dropping your phone while dancing, but that's not how she wanted to play.

Have a +1 for being a good parent and letting her play however she wanted. Gotta love kids
