| Useless. The Kinect sucks as much as it is, but bringing it to the PC? Really? They're two opposites. The Kinect works on a console because a console is usually in a living room or a place with space and big TVs, where as PCs are 15-20 inch monitors on a desk with not a lot of room.
Disregarding the Kinect being trash, the usability of a Kinect on PC is so limited. PC gamers won't bite. | |

| Well, let me rephrase. It's trash for your real gaming. I won't lie and say it's not fun, but it's definitely something for when you have friends over. I certainly (and everyone here) doubt anyone would use a Kinect as their primary thing.
But yeah this just isn't going to work on PC. | |

| It will be cool to use it for PC functions, but not for PC gaming. | |

| Microsoft doesn't even support gaming in general on the PC like they promised. Now they expect us to believe them when they say they will support motion gaming on the PC? | |

| I agree with Jub. It would be cool for PC functions, but even then, it would be a gimmick and nothing compared to the standard controls of mouse and keyboard. | |

I frequently use voice commands on Xbox. I can see myself doing that for PC. And even so, it can be used as a webcam and mic. | |
