Microsoft Kinect Only Existed So That I Could Embarrassingly 'Just Dance'
Microsoft has finally decided that the Kinect is no longer a viable standalone device to keep in production. This makes sense as the technology has been utilized for innovations such as Cortana and Hololens. Microsoft will continue to support the device (the Kinect will still work with whatever Xbox you've got it plugged in to) because Microsoft knows that it would be a fatal error to take away my ability to Just Dance. My Kinect, which is my second Kinect, is plugged into a Xbox One and its sole purpose in this world is to track my movements as I less-than-rhythmically jostle my body around while trying to follow some disco viking tripping out to the beat of "Pound the Alarm" by Nicki Minaj (extreme version). The current high score on that track is 11,270, which belongs to my daughter, who beat me by 50 points. In fact, she recently took back the Just Dance crown on almost all our competitive tracks.
