Star Wars video brings to mind that list of reasons why the lightsaber motion controller will never work. Who cares though, it's Star Wars!
EDIT: Massive Oprah moment with the new Xbox.

I have a feeling that every journalist there is going to be very happy with the ending though.

Sony or Nintendo has officially won E3 this year and they haven't even shown anything yet, especially after that crap. I can't believe I stayed up for this.
Nothing on Kinect makes me want to buy it ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Oh wait maybe I could learn to that dance! Or maybe I could do more of that Zen crap from Ubisoft.
Oh wow a smaller Xbox, what a "surprise", so they've made a slight cosmetic change and gave us wireless, how would that ever compare to I dunno walking around a freaking car and opening a door.
If Kinect is showing us the future of racing, my god we're all doomed!
I got my next Kinect command right here... XBOX KINECT YOU SUCK!

They should have just stopped after Rising. The rest was mediocre at best. Kinect was a joke. I should have picked the Sony conference instead...
I expect to see a massive backlash when I wake up tomorrow morning.

The strangest thing is the total lack of any 'core' titles for Kinect. At least when Nintendo were showing off the Wii they attempted to offer a cross between casual and core titles. Obviously its debatable as to the quality of said core titles, but they tried. This was nothing but casual.
Which makes me pretty confident Kinect will be extremely underused for core titles. My guess is Microsoft feel core gamers already have a controller and wont want motion controls, and thus intend to keep the core gamers that they have and try and adopt new gamers with a casual exclusive peripheral; Kinect.
Its a shame they dedicated so damn much of their show to it though. Makes you wonder why they even bothered with the performance last night.

Wow that was very underwhelming. We got Nintendogs, Wii Sports, Excitetruck, and WiiPlay oh wait sorry Kinectimals, Kinect Sports, Kinect Racing (Whatever its called), and a minigame thing. They didn't even price Kinect and to try and hide the journalists' disappointment they pull the old Sega and the new xbox is available now! and you all get one! Boo

Man, even just looking at the announced titles, I think the Move is going to blow the Kinect away. Here's hoping Sony and Nintendo put on a better show. At least Rising was great, I'm totally looking forward to it.
I can't believe MS gave everyone free Xbox consoles though, it's awesome, but it just looks so dodgy.

Some have commented that the xbox may not work in Australia though. If not that would kinda suck.

I can't see why it wouldn't work in Australia. Even if it requires a step-down converter it should still run fine down here.

yer that was well um obvious. Nothing surprising at all. I mean id rather see some xbla games instead of an hour of bad acting trying to be a wii, but a few year late. I mean come on no one cars anymore its been done anyone who wanted unbisoft shape crap has wii fit already. Expect the same crap from sony with move making people yawn coz no one wants to come home from work and move around like an idiot. I mean how do you accelerate/brake in these racing games? is it just auto wow home boring. I thought with milo and last years trailer it was not just a wii rip off, but it is almost as much as the move. The only decent game using the weird and what will be very expensive camera (you can just tell or they would have priced it) was the dancing game which i really dont care for, but at least looked new and exciting. Also wonder how i may get espn coz that would be great :)
It will be nintendo's year for sure since they dont leak everything before the briefing and nintendo dont just show gameplay of a game that was announced a year ago. They actually wait till the game is nearly finished to show it and not make people wait 5 years for its release.

didnt realise MS show was on this morning. I guess tuesday morning it was. Just got my dates crossed and no one mentioned it was coming on in say in "8hours". I'll watch Nintendo and Sony's tomorrow.
But that means I got a lotta reading to do.

Weren't they supposed to be showing Milo?
Didn't watch the conference, but Fable 3 and Halo Reach look awesome.
Kinect sounds pretty lame.

So.... The Microsoft Conference was:
1) Time exclusive COD map packs... (never buying a COD game again anyway...)
2) Metal Gear: Rising (looks awesome but multiplatform)
3) Gears of War 3
4) Fable 3
5) Halo: Reach
6) Kinect Crap
7) Free XBox
Really? Seriously? How many giant enemy crabs were onstage?

That dance still looked a million times better than that even more embarrassing show Nintendo gave a few years ago with Wii Music.
