Xbox's 'Kinect PlayFit' dashboard keeps track of cross-game calorie burning

4.5
"Kinect PlayFit," first seen in leaks, is now officially announced – and officially released today! That means we can finally understand what Kinect PlayFit is: a special "fitness dashboard" that tracks your calories lost across multiple Kinect games, "from Dance Central 2 to Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 to Kinect Star Wars," according to Microsoft.

The dashboard also features leaderboards and social "activity challenges," two ideas that probably either motivate you to keep up your fitness routine or make you feel very uncomfortable, depending on how fit you already are. It even has its own Achievements.

I would love to see some hidden kinect cameras of people trying to lose wait by playing kinect :D. I would much rather go swimming or get on the tread mil


That'd be funny to see hidden Kinect videos of people in really bad shape.


Lol that would be funny. XD


Today I entered my weight on the stats tab on my profile and then started to play a kinect game. Five minutes later im out of breath and only burned like 5 calories :D


God Kinect is so stupid! xP


Dont forget about how it's intergrated with games like skyrim now, thats the kinects only true use.
