Kinect and the Wii

http://news.cnet.com/i/bto/20080227/Wii.jpg
This cool and new technology for gaming came out recently, but has already became a huge sensation not to only gamers but also families. KINECT is very similar to the Wii in my perspective, because in both systems you have to physically move for the game to work. But KINECT upgraded from the Wii and now you won't even need a control, "Your body is the control". I thought this was a brilliant idea, because I don't see any flaws into this technology. Technology has always been a part of gaming, over the past few years new games has been coming out every other month. Assuming, to attract more gamers gaming companies create something different for their users, and the Wii was the first game that was totally different, compared to a simple controller havering over the television. Both the Wii and the KINECT help gamers become more active because they're not just being lazy and starring at the tv all day, but they're also get up on their feet and physically working out their bodies. Wii even provided a fitness game called Wii Fit that specifically helps people become healthier. I personally never played KINECT but I have tried the Wii and it really breaks a sweat. Also, KINECT and Wii are always coming up with new games for the whole family to participate in, so it can improve family "Kinection" which is cool. This technology is one the only one where I don't see can go wrong. Maybe the fact that people lock themselves inside the house all day playing Wii/Kinect and not actually participating in real sports, but we also have to considered how much of an improvement it is in the gaming world, where people wouldn't even step off their couches.
