Just as long as my daughter can still play with her grandparents an ocean away. As long as they don’t charge for it, and put up annoying ads during calls, they can call it whatever they want.

If Kinect hasn't taken the world by storm (it is the fastest and most selling device of all time!), then I can't guess what else will. Poor article written with no insight.
