No new hardware launch is perfect, but Microsoft’s creative director Kudo Tsunoda is here to help smooth things out. We polled Game Informer readers for questions about Kinect, and fired them off at Tsunoda for the answers.

  • Finally some good answers! I'm still thinking about buying kinect, but probably not on launch day.

  • This still does not make me want one....

  • i'll wait for some weeks. if i hear good reviews than maybe i would get it

  • Couldn't this be on the podcast? I really wanted to listen to this on my ipod...

  • the video freezez halfway through! Thanks a lot for "answering my questions."

  • Nice dodge on the question on core titles.  The emperor has no clothes.

  • put the *** camera on a tri pod

  • forza the best racing game for this generation hahahaha grand turismo 5 going to take a dump on that game

  • Kudo Tsunoda seems like a more respectable guy without glasses on.

  • I can break-dance.

  • I hate the whole 6 feet minimum requirement thing. I do all my gaming in my room and I just don't have that kind of space.

  • I can finally concentrate on what he is saying instead of focusing on those crazy glasses he usually wears.
  • noticed some time gaps between the players jumping and their avatars jumping

  • WOW. All these people saying There is no way in hell im going to buy kinect, and now people are saying"I'm thinking about it." I can't take it! ಠ_ಠ

  • Man, does this guy know how to pimp Kinect or what? I wanted nothing to do with this thing, and now I'm entertaining the idea of getting it for the family.

  • what is sooo special about kinnect....in my opinion 360 is just as good

  • For the first time ever im able to take this guy seriously, must be the sun glasses. Dont think I will end up buying one but I am eager to see how kinect does.

  • Kudo is a really good representative for this product. He actually seems to care about the Kinect. I'm not getting one but I hope everything goes well with the Kinect and people end up having fun with it.

  • If i wanted to jump around like a loon when i play my games, I would buy a WII.... again.  I will stick with classic gameplay. Enough with this motion control crap.

  • So many negative comments still, yeesh. I'm tired of debating the topic, so I'll just do my best to record the names of all the adamant haters of Kinect in my head... and smile to myself when the tech gets into full swing and people are eating their words.
