"With the new sensor, it's much more accurate," said executive producer Danny Isaac.
Kinect was a genuine innovation and Kinect Sports was its mass-market delivery mechanism. To some extent, Kinect Sports proved that motion control had advanced since its early days with PlayStation Eye and the Wii. It promised to allow people to play soccer, table-tennis, boxing and other pastimes using their own body movements, just as they would in real life, instead of the more abstract use of button-presses. Most people's experience of a Kinect is likely Kinect Sports, the 2010 launch game for Xbox 360's motion control device.
