Unless Kinect is something completely different. But the new 360 is intriguing. So if this is true, I wonder what the story of the name "Kinect" is.

 

[Tyeforce]

It's obviously a fusion of the words "kinetic" and "connect".

Erhem.

It sound too much like kinetic to me.
It also sounds like a two year old trying to pronounce connect.

I know. What I meant by that is that it sounds just like kinetic. So why not just call it kinetic?

Because it's not original?

Because it's Kinetic and Connect combined. It's really not that hard to see it.

Thank God they changed it. I know NATAL was the working title, but still, it was terrible.
