Actually, I happen to have exactly 4 reasons. 1. [u]Kinect Mandatory to operate console.[/u] Many people, such as myself are using desks or smaller living spaces and can't place the Kinect anywhere. Or just don't want to use it. 2. [u]Always Online.[/u] You have to be online every 24 hours or less. The number of people that bought the consoles is a lot larger than the number of people on Xbox LIVE. Many people can't afford internet, or have bad connections. 3. [u]No Used Games.[/u] Speaks for itself, many people play games at a friend's house, or let friend's borrow games. Gamefly services. All that, rendered useless. 4. [u]Kinect Watches You. [/u] Many people don't like being watched, what if I'm watching porn. They patented the technology to disallow multiple people from watching rentals. Which means they can be watching you.
