Yeah, I agree with Gaurdian Enzo there.
The main problem isn't just what Kyousuke said (though I can certainly understand Kanon's reaction to it all the same), but rather the context behind it. Kyousuke has all of the following going for him: 1. A very close, dependable, and usually available friend in Manami. 2. A girl who really likes him in Kuroneko. She's also usually not too busy for Kyousuke, and she spends a lot of time with him. 3. A good friend to talk with over the phone in Saori. She's also someone he can easily confide in, vent his personal issues to, and often get good advice from. 4. He seems to be on pretty good terms with Akagi due to their similar sibling issues. 5. That gaming club seems plenty welcoming of him. 6. Both parents at home. Granted that he's not terribly close to his parents, but at least they're there. He's not living all on his own. Given all of the above, it's really hard to understand how Kyousuke could be insanely lonely. How many guys would be lonely in his shoes?

Again, not saying that there aren't other possible ways of looking at it (and I'm deliberately not making a judgement call on whether it's right, wrong, good, or bad to feel that way), but I think this may be a bit closer to what Kyousuke's feelings are shown to be. I personally think this doesn't really preclude him from going down any other romantic path in the future, but this feeling of "something's missing" probably did. Kuroneko was certainly astute enough to pick up on that multiple times.

That's a question I don't even want to ask because it's probably rhetorical at this point, or which ship you're sailing on. But maybe I should. The way it almost feels like everything else is being brushed aside just for Kirino's return is proof enough for others, and one massively ambiguous suggestion for everyone else. So in the end it probably all depends on your view and interpretation of Kyousuke: 1. On one hand, you can say that his thoughts and intentions and focused and singular. Everyone else is a minor character, and there's only one person on his mind... 2. On the other, he's as dense and apathetic towards others as he usually is, and simply chooses to focus on his sister than anyone else... At the end of the day, I neither hate it nor love it. Simply put given how the ending is intentionally unclear, I'll just call it Your Mileage May Vary.

So I don't think either of the options you proposed is necessarily correct, and I think the whole shipping thing is way overblown. Kirino has a unique, irreplaceable value to him because she's his one and only precious sister. It may be more than that too, but I think we only really need to concede that much to explain as much as we've been shown so far. (I think a lot of people are really asking "how can he love her that much even if she's done nothing to be so worthy of his love" (and other people are "more worthy"), but I don't think that's how love works, especially when family is involved. This idea that he should have just "gotten over" Kirino's departure and moved on in his life is ultimately minimizing/negating that Kyousuke should love her at all. Again "love" here not in the romantic sense, but as a strong, irreplaceable bond. And despite all the turmoil and craziness, they do share a bond. That's not so easy to break.)

what an open ending... Kuroneko can be said already confessed...
a bit surprise Kyousuke said he was "lonely" and wanted Kirino to go back immediately the only explanation is all the rest of the people are not as important to him as his sis, cant blame others calling him siscon

Yes, people are well aware of it. Or at least should, this was announced ages ago. But so what? It will take months if not years to gather enough material for anime and even then it's not set in stone we'd get an anime. I hope we do though, Kuroneko > Kirino always.

From the moment, Kyousuke recived the mail/sms from Kirino, i somewhat thought, it would end like that.
For some reason, it was realy good. Better, than i thought. Oreimo without Kirino is not Oreimo. I like Kuroneko but it is not her time, yet.

Really uneven episode and ending, but the whole series has been like that since after episode three. I did enjoy seeing Kirino again, her character is ridiculous as ever. The dad is too cute, ready to fly off to America to save Kirino. I'm surprised Ayase didn't kill herself after Kirino cut her off for six months.
Kirino's roommate in America is her age, right? I was a little confused by the dialogue as first and thought it oddly hilarious that Kirino would be proud of finally beating an elementary school kid. The ending song was something else. Taketatsu really can't sing. And that jump at the end was just |

And Kuroneko is just speaking the truth anyway. We all know how thickheaded Kyousuke is when it comes to relationship. And of course, him being a pervert is nothing new (Just too many things I can quote XD) |
