While skeptics have been circling overhead the motion controller since it was officially unveiled, Rare has been consistent in expressing support for it, saying that those doubts will be erased as soon as gamers get their hands on Kinect.

"Until people play Kinect, and they play it for more than a couple of seconds, which is unfortunately what you get in the trade shows... But you know hardly anybody's getting a chance to play it."

He furthers, "It's one of those things you've got to have what I call your Kinect moment, when you realize... And we see this, we saw it at gamescom and E3, people go, 'Oh, it's way better than I expected. It's way more high fidelity than I expected."

Watching demos of Kinect in action on videos, or simply reading about it, simply just doesn't communicate the experience as authentically as when you yourself are trying it out. And as mentioned above, he doesn't mean trying it out for a few couple of seconds.

While Sony has admitted that they're not expecting too high of Move's first day sales, Burton is confident that hardcore gamers will be lining up for Kinect when it launches in November. 

"You watch the Live leaderboards when these things come out. There will be people... We'll be there going, 'How the hell have they gone that fast?' or 'How have they got that big score?' That will be the hardcore doing that."
