That does look like a huge step forward from kinect v1. Only thing I question, which I'm surprised hasn't been brought up before, is how much processing power it uses? That was a big deal when the first kinect was released. Ps4 has faster ram, better GPU, no mandatory draw on CPU. As far as raw power ps4 has Xbox one beat hands down.

I use kinect on 360 almost everyday so I guess now that is common to all systems we will use it even more _________________________________________________________

I'm starting a workout routine with the current Kinect to supplement, my swimming, biking, running and weight training.
The Kinect is nice to do some calisthenics and warm ups between sessions. You can even work your self just fine only using the Kinect but I like to get out as much as I can.
My mom is severe bipolar and has been since I was 4 years old. Over the time the meds have messed her body up. We are working with her to help her stay out of bed so much. She loves trying to do the exercises with the Kinect and we finally found a way to get her active. She has now stepped outside to take short walks up and down our street thanks to the Kinect. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

Nike + Kinect Trainer is just amazing in terms of fitness, it really works great.
I went back to Skyrim and now it has integration with Kinect Voice Recognition and just made the game so great.
I specially love the Dragon Shouts, it's pretty cool shouting to screen and watch everybody get knock the f out _________________________________________________________

The new kinect has it's own CPU from what im aware of, and hence the extra $100 on the price tag too i guess.. The PS3 had a better GPU and more ram than the Xbox 360 did it not??? No difference in games mate. oh sorry shaders maybe.. hahah
Xbox will win this shit hands down, Sony have only just decided to charge for their network, and everyone knew they would. dumb fuckers, now they are behind the eight ball, years behind in server developement for their network.. God i'd hate to be their admins. remember when their whole PSN went down for 3 months?? everyone lost their profiles and stuff?? it will happen again. _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

Sony's going to loose because they don't have an amazing Kinect or top notch online service? LOL
Even Blunty is saying that no one will use Kinect
Remember when their network went down and afterwards they gave everyone two free games and they apologized with a bow? in their culture that's a very apologetic matter.
Remember when Microsoft got a RGH on their trinity board nearly right after the slims release? You keep saying Sony has poor security but their last Jailbrek for devs officially was 3.55 now you gotta tear into the mobo and add additional hardware just to mod it.
PRICE matter, if M$ woke up and released a version without Kinect it would sale more!
Public Polls do NOT lie, like the gbatemp I posted over 400 people were saying they were still going Sony compared to the measly 100 people that said the 180 changed their mind.
Just because you think this console will be perfect for you doesn't mean it's going to win other sales over.

Of course, it's not going to win because it's looks cute in living room

Are you hard headed as hell or just blind? I've invested $500 into my 360 I dont even own a fucking ps3 if I were a fan boy I'd have every single thing sony made
Well I do have premodded ps1s/ps2s but I also have dreamcasts, orig xbox pc 3ds xl ipod touch.
I dont give a shit about who makes the product I give a shit of buying products at low prices, if you still cant see that you're just being an asshole and trying to put me into a group that I'm not because I'm not shitting my pants over a kinect or apps.
You guys really are starting to get pathetic with this debate ooohh the x1 is so much better because it has cloud apps and kinect!
You guys are being hypocritical as fuck, You're Sony fan boy but I'm going to sit here and say how much better the x1 is and tell everyone the ps4 is crap! _________________________________________________________ The internet, a place where people expect you to know what they know.
