So with these recent deep discounts on Xbox units online the Kinect bundle can be got for close to $200. Considering the Kinect alone is $100 and Microsoft will never bundle (and probably won't produce more) I find myself in the insane position of possibly buying an Xbox One right now.
Not insane because the console is bad or anything. But for the last few days I had been looking at getting a 360 and had been collecting software for it for the past few months. I hadn't planned to get a Xbox One for years and was planning on getting a NX and a PS4 before.
The reason I'm interested in Kinect is because I always like new gameplay experiences and peripherals. The thing is the Kinect was so quickly taken out that there are barely any exclusive games for it.
In fact these seem to be the only retail titles:
Fantasia: Music Evolved
Fighter Within
Just Dance 2014-2017
Kinect Sports Rivals
Shape Up
Zumba Fitness World Party
And of Course Dance Central Spotlight is a digital download.
The only games I would be interested out of that are Fantasia, Kinect Sports and Dance Central.
My question is do this offer anything over the 360 iterations of these games as I already own those? What are the differences?
Are they any downloadable Kinect titles that are cool?
Are there any games that use the Kinect in an actually interesting way?
How is Xbox Fitness?
Finally what are the general system uses for Kinect? Could I browse the Internet completely hands-free? Watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and Hulu with voice commands? Search purely by voice?
Since I don't really need it right now I may give it to my Sister and her Husband for a few years if the voice control is good. Are there some good casual apps? Any benefit to watching TV? I know Microsoft use to have some NFL features, do they still have that?
I really want to have a Kinect for Xbox One but for three games (one of which is available on 360, one that only has some of the sports of the previous two and one that has a small initial song selection compared to three retail games already released) it's even hard for a guy like me who loves light guns, eye toys, plastic instruments and balance boards to justify getting a One now and not using it instead of getting a Scorpio many years later.
I really appreciate any answers.
Edit: Really interested in the voice commands now that I've been reading more. Can you search Netflix and Hulu just by voice? How is browsing the internet? How is watching TV and Snapping?
