This is actually a good point. Hm. The concept video was released a year and a half before release. Microsoft obviously had to announce it, so third party devs could support it. But if you watch the video so much stuff is bullshit! ^^ Also it gave the competition a chance to react to it (Playstation Move? I don't own either and don't know which wave-your-hand-stuff is working better or has better games.)

I remember many wouldn't take it serious and as hyperbole). I think Kinect would have been successful in a more truthful presentation. Like if Microsoft had done an Apple-like reveal and only shown the real product two months before release.
