But the original Kinect was an atrocious failure.
It just so happened to be very useful outside of gaming.
You can see plenty of reviews of completely frustrated players of Steel Battalion's sequel to see what I mean.
The current hate is something different, though. It's now undeniably functional, but the NSA fear is justified.
Still, the lack of support annoys me greatly. I don't even have an Xbox One yet because I don't buy first generation consoles anymore, but the system seems to be losing the things that made it unique. Then again, after the **** that I experienced on PS3, I'd be glad to leave Sony.
