Knowing MS history, this feature is going to be used a handful and times and then forgotten when nobody uses it well.
more people likely have Smartglass devices than they do Kinect, so I don't see an issue with this if most any touch device can be used with Smartglass.
In the end, it's likely less restrictive than having a kinect only game.

i like how everyone thinks that's a possibility but i'm afraid you're only gonna see it as a place where extra information is given.
as far as i know it will connect trough wifi which doesn't seem that great when you think about latency

Being windows 8 also has smart glass and I'm actually able to use it from my computer to my xbox right now (in the windows 8 pre-release version, its pretty good), I have a feeling that this is also an attempt to change the way computers work.
WHile not necessary, there is heavy emphasis on touch compatibility in windows 8. It can get annoying when it comes to some of the apps and not having a touch screen, but its not to bad. Either way, smartglass is going to be on comps, tablets, and phones, meaning the only people who wont be able to use it are the people who don't have an xbox.
Because really, who has an xbox and internet and not a computer?

Like any new tech, it has some great possibilities. I actually see them being much more interestingly implemented and interesting than with Kinect. *Requiring* games to use SmartGlass might be a bit, um, presumptuous and overzealous.
It's obvious that they would do this so that they could get some games that would otherwise be Wii U exclusive.
If he means they're giving the developers the possibility of being able to make it Glass-exclusive, this is great news.
Phil Spencer is a new entity for me; someone I didn't even know existed until recenty, and the only thing I can think of after reading the interview is -- "This guy should definitely be doing PR for the Xbox instead of Ballmer."

@ Zwiki: Smartglass ports will definitly suffer. There will be no latency with the Wii U. I fear smart glass will not work even close to as good as Wii U. Then again I'm no expert so who knows. I do think you are partly right as.far as Microsofts Intent with smartglass. That and at this point anything they can offer to help get a part of the evergrowing tablet market.
Microsoft really knows how to shoot themselves in the foot. It's hard to believe someone could actually make people rather have a Wii U.
Of course they are, but I'll bet a whole lot that they'll either be complete crap, or they'll ruin the games that they're "enhancing".
