Well the waggle waggle thing was a key feature of the Wii. So in that case it was very important. The Kinect doesn't do anything you can't do with a controller, remote, or phone (via smartglass). Of all these input methods the controller is the one to be most used, with Kinect only partially supported in core games and housing a pathetic games library of its own.

Imagine Smartglass being required on Xbox One, when it adds absolutely nothing really. If every X1 game required the Kinect for some reason, congrads Microsoft made the damn thing a necessity. But I don't see that happening.

I can care less about the Big Brother shit people pretend to be angry about. Far as I know the government is well aware of my porn preferences and has been for years. Whatever. What bothers me is watching some piece of shit camera, however hi tech it honestly is, get promoted like it 'changed the game' last time around. It's... annoying.
