Kinect for the XBox 360

It seems everyone is ready to jump on the motion control of the Wii that made it the best selling console this gen. Well it was more the easy to play games than anything, but the Wii-mote helped a little. Playstation 3 is putting one out later this year as well.

The XBox 360 however is putting out kinect which is a little bit different. Lauded as the "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform, and may later be supported by PCs via Windows 8.

Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, it enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands,[6] or presented objects and images.
