Ok, so Kinect has never really been popular. It is pretty cool, but...
It was always the ugly Johnny-Five, weird side-kick brother that tagged along with the Xbox because it wanted to be cool too. On the Xbox 360, it's requirement for a large play area meant people didn't have space to use it without punching each other in the mouth.
When the Kinect was initially bundled with the Xbox One, there was considerable outcry despite the fact that the Xbox One Kinect is a remarkable upgrade from its predecessor. This, with the almost halved play-space required, made Kinect One seem like a surefire thing. Unfortunately, it remained mistrusted, unliked and seen as an NSA spying tool — its place in the living room has all but vanished.
The Kinect is actually really useful. The recent Xbox Summer Anniversary update saw a huge boost in Cortana's performance and response. It doubles as a microphone for party chat sessions (as well as taking your commands) and a camera you can use for apps such as Skype and games.
The gaming aspect of Kinect has always fallen by the wayside somewhat, despite some ridiculously fun games being available.
The threat of burning actual calories as you read this list of great games you're missing out on is minimal.
