I really don't find motion-gaming interesting. I'm intrigued about where it might go, but nothing about any of its 3 current incarnations does anything for me, really. And of the three systems, Kinect is probably the one I least see me using outside of a party situation.
I'm not gonna lie, I kinda hate the Wii. My parents own one and I have some games for it that were okay. But frankly, I've never enjoyed the motion-sensing aspect. Brawl and Mario Kart are both better without motion-sensing, and both games are worse than their predecessors. I'll admit I didn't play Zelda on the Wii, but I was perfectly happy with it on my Gamecube.
The only times I EVER use the system is when it is a party situation. And I don't love it then. The poor graphics, gimmicky games and poor motion-sensing are just meh. I spend more time infuriated that the controller seems to think I'm pointing it 45 degrees away from the screen when I'm right in front of it...
The reason I can't get excited about Kinect is twofold, mainly.
1. It isn't something I can use when I'm exhausted after work/school/seeing friends. When I'm playing games, it's generally because all I want to do is chill. I don't want to be jumping around in front of the TV. When I have that kind of energy, I'm generally out doing something or working.
2. I can't figure out a way that would allow you to move your avatar that isn't incredibly awkward. Even if they program it to watch your feet to figure out if you are staying still/walking/running, there's still the problem of turning. You can't turn your head without looking away from the television, so you'd need to turn your body opposite the direction you want your avatar to go (while keeping your head facing the TV). And that's just awkward.
Move is slightly less problematic in the first sense, but just as bad in the second. Until I can use motion gaming from my couch without sacrificing the feel of being able to move my character then I'll pass.
