It was a gimmick.

Do you:
1) Want to badly control a character by waving your arm?
2) Perfectly control a character by moving your thumb a few mm?

When you're too black to enjoy the Kinect

Pity. Great for young kids, but perhaps that was its only use and it made it too niche to be financially viable.

This should just be a standard feature in the actual Xbox.

Does Sony still make the PS Move? Probably also dead.
