Could take over the world

If you were slightly excited by Rare's earlier assertion that only 10% of Kinect's power is being used, wait until you hear what software incubator Nick Burton thinks of the future.

Calling the sensor's potential "virtually limitless", Burton positioned the sensor's future as part of an overall media experience, rather than just a gaming device:

Now we've got 'Kinect, pause', which is great, but imagine sitting in your living room and saying: 'Kinect, entertain me.' That's where we're going.

The list of current Kinect voice commands certainly doesn't include that, but as you'll soon be able to control Netflix and Hulu Plus with Kinect it could be on the horizon.

Where do you see Kinect's future? Do you think it'll become more of a media centre device or head more down the dedicated gaming path? Add your voice to the discussion below.
