Most gamers can take or leave the ubiquitous depth camera, because it just isn't as useful for gaming as, say, the Wii controller. It is indispensable for certain titles (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-games-you-can-t-play-without-kinect/1100-6419615/), like Just Dance 2014, Xbox Fitness andFighter Within. Others, such as Madden NFL 25 and Battlefield 4, can make use of the Kinect 2, but absolutely don't need it. In other words, it's a big bag of meh for gamers and casual users. But recently, my ears perked up when Microsoft released a $50 cable (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/22/microsoft-kinect-2.0-sdk/)that lets you use the Xbox One's Kinect on a PC.
