I feel some kind of deja vu.

Maybe if Microsoft has more competitor. Just look at Nintendo VR, It doesnt have competitor and it ended bad and we have to wait more then 10 years to come close to what Gunpei Yoko vision. Current VR is backed by many competitor (Oculus, Samsung, HTC, Valve, SONY ect). That's really helpfull.
I just hope their focus this E3 will be mostly around Hololens.
also new slogan: Microsoft, we put the LOL in holographics
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

People were saying the same thing on forums back in 2007/08 when the Kinect was being showcased(at the time it was codenamed "Project Natal". Some people honestly believed it was going to be a game changer and was going to put the 360 in front. Even popular media outlets were in on the hype:

We all know how the Kinect went. Whilst it sold well, it never did live up to the hype and never changed the standard. Kinect 2.0 has been dropped almost entirely with very little software being developed for it. I see the Hololens as being even more niche as the cost of the unit will be even more than the Xbox1 which makes it incredibly prohibitive for most people.
Yeah that dat camera is the real hololens, if some day all that fit to a small head device will be aweosome, for now is just a kinect on your head. Why they try to lie? they damage the own creation like kinect. The techologyt is very cool but tell us for onces is not ready yet!
Didn't we all see this coming?

The most ridiculous part of this thread is people compare this to Kinect like this one, unlike Kinect it doesn't need to cost down because they WON'T sell it with Xbox, they only need to keep improve in next prototype.
And what marketing? we don't even know when will it release.

^ this.
And the most important part: " ....partly directed at gaming (despite obvious practical limitations to its integration)".
AR is going to suck for gameing, plane and simple, when compaired to VR.
And VR is going to be easy to develop for (compaired to AR) and cheaper 249-299$ price tag for a VR headset.
I dont see how this product ever really takes off and takes the world by storm.
Even Facebook, leader of social media choose to buy a VR company
(instead of going for AR which is uniquely suited for social media).
