The Kinect is an awesome device, the only reason it didn't take off is because the game industry is extremely risk-averse these days.
The tracking issues are big, I feel that Oculus is doing tracking right by using a standard webcam, but then mounting infrared on device, that makes it a lot easier to solve "the dog problem" mentioned in the article.
