Last month, Microsoft launched a series of events around the globe from Toronto to the UK to promote its new Kinect for the Xbox 360 Console. Those events are there to promote their new device as well as get users to try out the new systems and hopefully get them to buy the new system for the holidays.

Kinect is a small device which attaches to your Xbox 360 Console and provides a motion detection system that allows you to control games and the device without any physical controller. The system has many sensors, cameras and even several microphones which grab all sort of data. This data is then processed by its powerful processors and algorithms to pick up voice and visual commands. The system isolates people and follows them to pick up their commands. It also isolates particular voices and drowns out background noises.

In their latest Pr campaign in the UK, Microsoft has promised that it will not just support casual games such as the mahjong games series like mahjong online, but it will also support games for hard core gamers like the Bioshock and FEAR series. How they will achieve this still remains to be seen, but seeing the great progress they have made with games like mahjong connect and other puzzle type games, we have no doubt they will make this a smooth experience for consumers.

In these hardcode games, users will be able to control the guns, walking and even zoom in functions with hand gestures. It is challenging to imagine how precise movements which are needed in these types of games, might be controlled specifically in multiplayer settings. Originally these games were played with a mouse and keyboard on the PC. As these games were migrated to consoles, they began using the xbox controllers instead. This provided less accuracy and more clumsy movement. With time players got better at using these, but even today in Xbox live games were console gamers play again players with mouse controls, it's simple to see how much worse they are.

The issue now is that if these new players use the kinect to control the system, it will be even less accurate and will make for an even more unbalanced experience online. We'll see the effect in the coming months and hope that Microsoft and game developers find a solution to this dilemma.
