Because it’s just not a very effective way to control a game. Unless it’s a learning program for dancing/fighting or working out. And then only if you have lots and lots of space so you don’t break all things around you (children included)
Not effective? Seems to work just fine whenever I play the Kinect. I do see some games don’t control very well but Kinect Sports and Dance Central seem quite accurate. I do admit the Playstation Move is more accurate but the fail comments by everyone here about the kinect are unwarranted.
Well, couldn’t have been more than 2 at a time….
Meanwhile, on our Wii or PS with move, there’s 4 of us (read: the whole family) playing together, instead of two playing and two waitin on the couch, oh wait a minute not on the couch or the (Wii)Kinect(too) might fail and respond to the wrong people. Which was an extra reason to get rid of the s**t and trade it back for a couple (6) Wii and PS games!
You know…this fail appeared suspiciously quickly after Kinects launch. It’s almost as if someone wanted a clip of a product being used spammed around the internet…but who could possibly profit from such a scheme?
How is this fake?! You just saw it happen! You think they planed this???
You think they sat down and said, “…And then i elbow you in the face and you fly back”
And it didn’t take anywhere near as long as I was expecting. I was thinking “within a month, someone will try playing it in a too-small living room and bust someone in the face.”
lol if thats kinect sport, then what would happen if they play Mortal kombat, Street fighter, tekkean, and other figting games..in 2 player (local) mode on Kinect?
Yeah, what a strange coincidence… “Kinect” is available since November 4th, and not a week later there is already a “Fail” here on Failblog. I suppose, it’s viral marketing for M$.
they ain’t playing the PS move either. he’s Implying that the wii is more kick back, sit down game playable than the kinect. although I have to say that kinect is more of a way to exercise than a wii sitting down playing mario kart.
Said it over 9000!!!! times: If I wanted to move my entire body to game, I’d go outside. Making games more realistic is contradictory to my reason of playing games: To leave reality aside for a while.
It’s Microsoft, so it’s cool to hate. If Microsoft invented cold fusion and solved all the world’s energy and air pollution problems, people would still hate on it.
Someone was in a car accident? That’s why I’ll never drive. Someone pulled a muscle while exercising? That’s why I’ll never exercise. Someone was hurt outside? Oh thats why I’m going to stay inside and hide underneath my bed.
Well, this isn’t really a problem with the Kinect, so much as a problem with motion controls in general. The Kinect is an interesting idea, it’s just that it has been done before, and this version is only slightly better. Could you imagine if they combined the Move and the Kinect though? The Move’s superior motion controls with the Kinects superior camera? Out of all the Motion controlers though, I enjoyed the Move the most and the Kinect the least.
I kind of prefer the games from the Move as well. But the Kinect has an advantage in that you don’t have to buy extra controllers. Honestly I think both are fun in the end and its just a matter of your own personal preference.
No extra controllers, if you want to play a party game with 4 people, you will have to buy a Wii or Move system so you can, with Kinect: that’s a fail…. M$ thinks there’s only 2 people in any family!
Just sold 2.5 million units in 25 days…..SOLD UNITS TO CUSTOMERS, NOT SHIPPED OR SOLD TO RETAILED. Sony could only whimper and mumble some not so clear number of units in first 30 days (most likely shipped units).
So who’s the failure now??
KINECT rocks! (i own one and not just talking out from air).
If you ask me it’s just a copy of PS2 Eye Toy, But what were they thinking, this isn’t what gamers want, we want a controller, not move around like an idiot, i mean would you play this while everyone can look at you in your living room without being ashamed of the stupid hopping you’re doing?
kinect is already fail on its own.
Beat me to it.
OH SNAP!!
OUCH
Taking game realism to a whole new level!
he kinect-ed faster than you……….
Just how is it fail on its own?
if you haven’t figured it out already, no amount of reason can help you.
Dude, I’m not personally insulting you by asking where the fail comments are coming from. You speak of reason but yet you have none.
TROLL LOGIC EPIC WIN
I was all like “Dude…you HAVE no reason!”
And you were like, “Oh man I’m going to attempt to post a funny comment. Doh, I fail.”
Woohoo I win!

Bill Gates, is that you?
Typical response from an idiot. I own a ps3 FYI.
Yep, money to blow, that’s Bill.
I think you guys are confusing the PlayStation with the Xbox.
Money to blow? Sorry I have a decent paying job and can afford nice things. Maybe you should try that and move out of your mom’s basement.
Win
f-f-f-f-fanboi
Well, arent you all high and mighty, pulling up your big boy pants and arguing online.
you made my day ;D
This is a video of a man hitting a little girl in the face – looks like a fail to me.
Gender recognition fail!
you have proved my point…
proven actually, distractions are quite….distracting.
Something smells like PLANT in here…
well, it isn’t me…my neighbors in the apartment next to mine, on the other hand….
it’s very effective to me, my friends and my family when we played games on it.
Well, couldn’t have been more than 2 at a time….

I think your confusing the Eye Toy with the Kinect.
Maybe you’re just really uncoordinated. Or you don’t have a Kinect and you’re just repeating things the big kids told you on the playground.
You know…this fail appeared suspiciously quickly after Kinects launch. It’s almost as if someone wanted a clip of a product being used spammed around the internet…but who could possibly profit from such a scheme?
….oh right
Kinect is actually supper fun. You clearly don’t own one.
Best thing to do while you’re having supper is to play Kinect.
Oh I beg to differ.
What do you tell a kid with two black eyes?
Nuffin, you done already told him twice.
fake
Totes agree!
How is this fake?! You just saw it happen! You think they planed this???
You think they sat down and said, “…And then i elbow you in the face and you fly back”
“You just saw it happen! You think they planed this?”
Uh….yes? Not saying this is definitely fake, it just seems far more likely that this is a staged viral marketing strategy than a random occurrence.
That’s pretty rubbish marketing.
Use the Kinect! It’ll make you flap around like idiots! And get injured!
Who wouldn’t want one?? :O
just the people who don’t think it’d be fun to elbow a kid in the face by “accident” which i doubt is many people
TROLLIN, guys.
It’s a fighting game, dad is just level 80.
OM
the fisrt kinect fail
And it didn’t take anywhere near as long as I was expecting. I was thinking “within a month, someone will try playing it in a too-small living room and bust someone in the face.”
That thing hasn’t been out a month yet, has it?
Came out Tuesday to be exact I believe. This or last.
shopped
Yes! if you want to shop your kinect its available in store now !!
Black eyes sold seperately
I LOL’d
Elbowed at full throttle…
Love video servers that are compatible with Google Reader!
is he died?
0:03 = foreshadowing…
lol if thats kinect sport, then what would happen if they play Mortal kombat, Street fighter, tekkean, and other figting games..in 2 player (local) mode on Kinect?
That’s not kinect sports…. That’s adventure.
Yeah, what a strange coincidence… “Kinect” is available since November 4th, and not a week later there is already a “Fail” here on Failblog. I suppose, it’s viral marketing for M$.
Yes, what a strange coincidence that people might be having accidents with the new toy they maybe haven’t quite figured out yet.
Since there are new posts everyday on “that will buff out”. By your logic, you shouldn’t drive.
Ofc this didn’t happen with the wii…ohnowait
Haven’t you figured out that Wii can be played while sitting at the divan enjoying a martini??? Stupid, Suburbinites…….
they’re not playing wii…
But they’d be safer if they were.
they ain’t playing the PS move either. he’s Implying that the wii is more kick back, sit down game playable than the kinect. although I have to say that kinect is more of a way to exercise than a wii sitting down playing mario kart.
FALCON ELBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They look so dumb moving around like that lol
kinect is what i hear also racist if your black it wont be able to find u on screen
first that was an early demonstration when kinnect was still project natal, second at that time natal was still in development, third you are an idiot
Especially that third part.
What it can and can’t see is more a matter of lighting and background, like any other camera.
hysteric mom ftw
I love how she almost begins to laugh just as the accident happens, then “hysteric mom” mode sets in. “hah—OH MY GOD!!!”
Yeah I was thinking the same thing! Her over-reaction is the best part : )
LOL:)
FALCON SLAP!
And I thought Eye-Toy was fail
Well, I also won’t buy that glowing sextoy on a stick aka. PS Move
Said it over 9000!!!! times: If I wanted to move my entire body to game, I’d go outside. Making games more realistic is contradictory to my reason of playing games: To leave reality aside for a while.
Funniest Kinect fail yet…
kinect is an auto-fail, so this is technically win
what’s with all these kinect haters?
It’s Microsoft, so it’s cool to hate. If Microsoft invented cold fusion and solved all the world’s energy and air pollution problems, people would still hate on it.
What’s that odd smell? Oh those are only the commenters that were burned by tyberius.
only in jesusland
Poor boy :s
thats why im not gonna to buy it…
Someone was in a car accident? That’s why I’ll never drive. Someone pulled a muscle while exercising? That’s why I’ll never exercise. Someone was hurt outside? Oh thats why I’m going to stay inside and hide underneath my bed.
Cool story, bro.
Anyone know what game are they playing? Looks like boxing… in that case, kinect really makes games come alive!
Its Kinect Adventure
OMG the same stupid thing that happened with wii is happening with kinect, who would have guessed?!!?
though if someone manages to throw their “controller” through the tv, I will be impressed
And I will laugh hysterically.
Here Wii go again!
i wonder how many points he got for that one lol
i bet they all watched jay leno as a family that night
looks retarded
Anybody remember the playstation 2′s EyeToy? I do. I have punched many a thing and animal doing that.
headshot
I can’t wait for December 26th when the interwebs get flooded with kinect fails
Can’t wait ether LOL
It looks like he lost the game and thus removed the opponent with his elbow
he just pretend to get a beer

They were standing too close together. =P
Nobody ever reads manuals.
I wonder who won the next round…
There is now a blog out there that covers Kinect Only stuff. You can check it out at KinectionLost Dot Com
I don’t fell like so
Somebody says Kinect fails??
