It seems like a week into the release the biggest complaint, by far, is the space required. Move and the Wiimote both have the advantage there, because you can realistically be almost any distance from your display. They're saying the Kinect requires exactly 6 to 8 feet. Anything short of 5 or greater than 8 won't even register on the sensor. Shame, really; my setup has my 360 hooked to a 26" computer monitor, and I'm sitting right in front of it. There's no way I could sit 6 feet back and still feel comfortable.
It seems like this is essentially locked into people who have their 360 in a 'living room' which is at least 6 feet away (meaning 40+ inch displays). I may still put it on my Christmas list as a maybe, but I don't see any 'release defining' games for it yet.
