Microsoft Promises Big Things For Kinect In 2011

Microsoft executives have been talking up the Kinect with several different magazines over the last few weeks. The General Manager for Microsoft's United Kingdom division recently sat down and spoke Kinect with trade magazine MCV.

Microsoft seems happy with the awards that Kinect has one in the press and more recently at the BAFTA awards. The company feels that titles like Kinect Sports really broaden the console's audience.

"I think people are excited about Kinect, that's what we're focusing on and that's what you're going to see us really deliver on as we go through this calendar year, both in terms of what we're doing with that platform and the different types of gaming experiences that we're bringing to market." - UK GM Neil Thompson

What kind of titles would you like to see on Kinect in the next 12 months? There are rumblings about survival horror and M rated titles coming to the device before the end of the year. Does your Kinect get much use?

Personally I would love to see more mature titles using the Kinect. It is an excellent device that brings a lot of potential to the platform. Look to teamxbox for all of the latest Kinect news as it happens.
