Microsoft has just made an official announcement that they intend to bring their gamepad-free motion control gaming device Kinect to PCs. The launch for Kinect PC is slated for next month, as revealed by MS during the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show. "I'm thrilled to announce that Kinect is coming to Windows on February 1," said Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer.

Kinect for PC will be available for $249,99/195€ and will initially launch only in North America, United Kingdom, France, Japan, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand and Spain.

In related news, Microsoft also revealed that the company has sold over 66 million Xbox 360 consoles and 18 million Kinect units.

	Reply Leave it to Microsoft to just not enable support between systems. I know my 360 Wireless controller can't be used with the PC but my PS3 can (with a workaround, granted). I want to see what this will be like considering most people do not own an extremely large monitor.

	Reply Just what we all need. More useless crap plugged into our PCs. Anyone else see the 250 fucking bucks for a glorified webcam and think why? On the PC we have these things called Mice. They are super sensitive and give us superior shooter skills. I do not want to sit back and wave my hands at the screen like a retarded monkey that saw its reflection for the first time. Seriously, go choke on a cock MS no one is gonna go for that crap. My 360 is in backpack in my closet and has not been touched since that last AWEFULL system update. I am ready to add my 360 games to the backpack and go to gamestop and trade up for PS3.

	Reply They're just making a product more accessible if you want it, there is no rational reason whatsoever for you to be so angry about that. Wow. It's not like they're bundling it with all future Windows packages at extra mandatory cost or something. Anyway, I really never expected Kinect to be so much more successful than Move. Sure, the latter is a blatant and derivative Wii rip-off, and Kinect actually tries to do something new... but the price-point, I was certain, made Kinect a doomed product. I was very wrong, obviously.
