Sign language was a cool idea, but it's not really what you expect from what's basically a motion controller anyway.

Kinect has been falling short of just about every expectation, hasn't it? But really, I don't think Kinect will work for people missing limbs or people unable to use them. I mean, it has trouble working with women in skirts, children, dark-skinned people, people in dimly-lit rooms, and any more than two people on-screen. No way they're gonna make it compatible for people with those type of issues before women and children, which are a bigger audience.

Man, Microsoft and Sony just shouldn't have tried to copy the Wii (and each other to an extent).
