Microsoft have registered SSXKinect.com ( http://whois.domaintools.com/ssxkinect.com ) and TheSimsKinect.com ( http://whois.domaintools.com/thesimskinect.com ) which suggests that those games are coming out for Kinect! I know both those franchises are owned by EA but maybe Microsoft will co-publish them?

So I'm guessing SSX will work like Sonic Free Riders but I'm not sure about The Sims... maybe using the various menus Minority Report style? Mind you, I can't really see how the Sims translates well to a console experience, seems more like a mouse based game to me.

I don't really know that much about The Sims but maybe in a Kinect version you become a "Sim" and interact with the other CPU Sims using voice, gestures and maybe also the face tracking technology that's used in Avatar Kinect for facial gestures? (By the way, if you watch the movie Gamer there's a live action version of The Sims in it, lol! Also all the games and applications are controlled via a Kinect-style interface!)

Sims would definitely work for kinect , but SSX even more so I think... hmm I guess we'll have to wait a bit
