Valid point, but I'd hardly call a "living room environment" "controlled." There's no telling what size the room will be, distance from the user to the Kinect, lighting conditions, background color, etc. In my playing with the SDK, the Kinect does a pretty good job despite this. That said I'd rather not have my robot's ability to play the game well hinging on the Kinect's ability to respond properly in a given situation.
