Chris Morris considers if Microsoft “might be making its move a little too late to corral the kiddie audience” with its recent unveiling of kid-friendly Kinect partnerships.
The introduction of the Kinect For Kids initiative certainly sounds wise, given the company’s push in that direction. After all, who can argue with creating family-friendly titles with some of the biggest names in family entertainment?
The problem is: When you look at Microsoft’s longer-term goals, things become a bit squishier.

As far as my kids go, they have been hooked on Kinect even without much help from Microsoft marketing. The technology is easy to use and well designed. With games like Kinectimals, Fantastic Pets they have done well.
