Mandatory? It's part of the console but it's not like you will HAVE to use it for every game. They also had that adapter for playing in small rooms too.

Now, the avg house in japan is around 1400sq ft. They're not that small. When I was there, my apartment was ~1150sq ft, and I had plenty of space for a kinect. My house that I bought when I moved to the states is only a 3bdr rancher(1475sq ft). Plenty of room. I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination.

Now, I didnt play a lot of games with it, bc there arent any but it makes for a great remote. I seriously doubt that small apartments will doom the xbox over there. Japan rarely embraces products from the west wholeheartedly. I dont expect this console to be any different. MS went to great lengths to get the japanese to buy but even with exclusives and everything else, they just couldnt pull customers.
