Xbox One’s Game Pass Is Good For Gamers, But Can We Forgive These Microsoft Mistakes?

Kinect

Introduced as a means to combat the motion control upheaval led by Nintendo last generation, the Kinect saw some success in titles like Dance Central and Kinect Sports, though is largely considered one of Microsoft’s mistakes today for its failure to appeal to hardcore enthusiasts, general absence of compelling games, and failure to work as marketing suggested. Attempting to include the peripheral as a vital part of the Xbox One’s hardware was like a slap in the face for devoted fans, especially when considering that the Kinect was in part responsible for the system’s high launch price. Thankfully, the fancy camera is now no longer in production and will hopefully never see the light of day ever again.
