I think Kinect would have been fine if they didn't bundle it with the XBox One.

As in, it would have been a solid niche input device, but most games don't need it or benefit greatly from it, so adding $100 to the price of the console made it bad business.

There is some amazing technology there, but as a gamer it didn't make me want it. It was like VR kinda still is - a very cool niche that hasn't caught on yet.

It's okay for niche products to exist and be profitable if you don't require them to sell millions of units.
