That's why I said Ars has nailed it in its review. MS will likely introduce a Move like or some sort of controller for the Kinect camera to pin point its location (for additional accuracy) and some button to go with it.
The Kinect in concept is an incredible thing. Nevertheless, with MS trying to lower down to $150 (in which I think it's still expensive for a peripheral) and you get this sort of mediocre stuff. 640x480 VGA resolution in a world where HD is standard now? Let along the limited view angle, if you don't have a clear 7ft in front of your TV, forget about using it.

That is what is gonna kill the kinect for me, the 6ft minimum in order to use the device.
