Talking of backwards compatibility… did you notice whatwasn’ton that list of playable titles?
Kinect games. There are no Kinect games. NoKinectimals, noKinect Sport, noDance Central. It seems that Xbox’s all-singing, all-dancing motion/voice control system Kinect – once Microsoft’s poster child – has been unceremoniously dumped in a corner.
Sniff.
Apparently, it’s not intentional. As the Xbox One will essentially be simulating an Xbox 360, it’s unable to take account of peripherals added by way of a USB port.
TL;DR – your sad, lonely Kinect.
But following the removal of Kinect from Xbox One bundles – and not a sniff of a mention at yesterday’s conference – it sure feels as though Kinect’s days might be numbered. What do you think?
