It was a doomed piece of hardware from the moment a Microsoft exec decided that console games should have registration keys. The only thing people talked about leading up to the Xbox One/PS4 launch was how evil Microsoft is for wanting to do that.

The technology of the Kinect was never the subject of discussion.
