In an interview with Edge Magazine, Tsunoda confirms that Indie games will be supported but, "Obviously we're just focusing on the launch games at the moment. But you're going to hear more – it's a big part of Xbox. Indie games a big part of the platform, and timelines will come later."

Microsoft's XNA development platform will obviously have to receive an update for Indie developers to be able to begin using Kinect. Currently, there is no word on when that update might happen.

Microsoft has also said that while the launch games for Kinect focus on "casual" gamers, "core" gamers should expect games that fit their style within 18 months of its launch on November 5th, 2010.
