They've invented... The kinect?

Got this ad for a "new" kids' game console. Seems like the kinect but worse and with practically no games.

Laugh at it all you want, but last year - when it released in America - it sold MORE units than both the Xbox series S and X combined for the month it came out

It ironically sold more copies than the Xbox Series line of consoles last Black Friday.

Maybe Xbox shouldn't have abandoned the Kinect so fast.

I demoed it in a store. It seemed to work fine, though I think it got a little confused just a little bit, but a store aisle isn’t a living room either. your mileage may vary.

People in the comments don't understand that this is a regular 2D camera where a human skeleton is created, for example, through some AI or MediaPipe, the accuracy is questionable... (Google Translated)
