The guys over at Giantbomb's Bombcast were actually pretty positive about the Kinect integration on the Xbox One, despite being convinced it would be terrible before they got it. They're usually a very reliable and unbiased crowd. If you don't know their history, they were all pretty senior staff at Gamespot, then they all quit in protest after one of them got fired for giving a bad review to a major advertiser.
I recommend listening to their latest Bombcast if you're interested in hearing normal, knowledgable game journalists discuss their first hand experiences with the new consoles.
(Just don't listen to anything they say about competitive games or MMOs - they play a lot of games, but they don't play any of them a lot)
I have a job. Two actually. Really cuts down on my console fanboying up in this thread ><
