Won't be that long. HAckers are especially interested in the Kinect because they get 3D imaging hardware for cheap. It's already been hacked to play WoW (providing a workout to WoW nerds in the process).
Sure, the responsiveness required to command a FPS (a la the movie Gamer) won't be there anytime soon, but it isn't even there yet for simpler devices like the Wii and Move - we'll see how Move killzonersfare vs traditional controllers. The lack of "buttons" on a kinect means that gestures would have to be used, and the gesture-recognition induced lag is also a temporary drawback for FPS.
The Kinect is the groundbreaking tech tho, so I expect to see exponential improvements, purely due to the amount of resources that will be thrown at it (or similar tech that may emerge).
