So if there is the possibility to just say "Xbox, play latest Game of Thrones episode", and the show instantly loads and starts playing then that is a bad thing versus the other option?
People would rather instead use the controller to select the 'Video/media' tab, then scroll to 'HBOgo', then scroll to 'Series', then scroll to 'Game of Thrones', then scroll to 'Episodes', then scroll to the latest episode, select it, then select play?
If you can instantly answer/make a Skype call along side of the game/video/webbrowser you are playing using your voice, would that not be better then having to pause a game, access the menu, select to answer, or select whom to call, then initiate the answer/call?
If I'm in the middle of a game of Madden online(or any other game), why would I want to have to stop that game to answer/make a call instead of just telling the Kinect to answer/make the call?
I don't get this logic. Crow and craw all you want about price and NSA, but it's sounds silly and pointless to me.
Do we really prefer to get up to change a channel or volume on the TV? Do we really prefer our landland phones over cell phones? Do we still use typewriters instead of computers?
It's about evolution, and I'd rather have a companies try to evolve and change instead of just rehashing old ideas with new paint.
Everyone wants the StarTrek future, yet every one is going to complain every step of the way?
When I was a kid we where excited about innovation, and used our imaginations to try and see what the future may hold.
Now? Now the new gamer generation just complains, complains, complains, fights against all change in the industry, is pessimistic with the evolution of hardware and software, and demands dev's/publishers/console manufacturers NOT move forward.
Then they still have the balls to go into a thread and whine about how the industry as a whole is not 'innovative' enough.
