    Kinect + Windows Phone 8

    What kind of games integration do you guys expect from this killer combination?

    Is this all we will see?

    Although that is a cool idea, it seems like a niche feature. I'd like to see Microsoft iterate on the Xbox/Windows Phone co-op game play first!

    i think it would be neat if you could use the phone kind of like a controller. i mean, i know the whole point o fkinect is not to have to use a controller, but for rpg games and stuff it could be really neat.

    In that video, it uses the phone as a "controller" to change how the game is influenced, not as a controller to play the game.

    I wish they would focus more on co-op between games from the counsel to the phone. There is so much potential there to not only give us some cool features, but to attract new users.

    I think it could come with Apollo, as the dual core processors and higher resolution screens could maybe allow for more overlap in game development properties (character models) . We'll see

    Could be some Wii U style functionality in the xbox 720 maybe? It'd be cool However if windows phone 8 isn't popular by then they would likely make some sort of add on for the console for this. Or they could do both.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episode 2 will be the first to have this sort of integration. Not really multiplayer but, they share the same save file over xbox live. Its a start

    Oh, I thought this would be the first game to have Xbox and Windows Phone co-op gameplay! Damn, Microsoft really needs to get started on that!

    I think it would be good to have more integration options on windows phone and xbox, not necessarily limited to kinect
