The novelty of Kinect is starting to wear off.

Yes, it's true. This happens to be the case with me, and possibly others who have bought the kinect on launch day. Why is this happening? The answer is simple. Kinect is lacking the proper titles that it deserves. Enough with the gimmicks. Give us an experience that actually takes advantage of what the kinect is truly capable of.

Microsoft has kept quiet about what future titles we can expect for the kinect. No information as to what will appear on e3 has been revealed, and they themselves are making sure that nothing is leaked to the general public. So, what exactly can we expect from them when e3 arrives? More dancing themed titles?

If microsoft does the right thing; we can expect some great, and innovative new titles that will give the player a whole new motion based gaming experienced. If not; we will be subjected to more dancing/singing titles that have no innovation to offer. It's a quick cash grab, but it comes at a price. Nintendo, and sony can easily make new motion based tech; that will certainly overthrow the kinect in a short amount of time. The kinect itself MUST have motion based experiences that can not be found on any other console; regardless of how advanced their motion based technology becomes. Otherwise, I see the kinect as a temporary win for microsoft.
