That video was probably fake. Does it matter? They allowed people to play with the system and people actually commented on how the water thing worked.
"I sat down while my MTV Multiplayer blog successor Russ Frushtick tried the next part of the Milo demo. He stood in front of the TV as Milo approached him and then, using his hands to make goggles over his face, he initiated an EyeToy-style novelty. He waved his hands to make the water ripple. "

"Once Claire's portion was over, we took Milo out for a spin. For my part, I walked with Milo over to the pier, grabbed the goggles that he threw at me, performatively snatching at the air, having already seen the video during the earlier keynote presentation. To put them "on" I had to make loops with my thumbs and pointer fingers and wrap them around my eyes. A guide on the bottom of the screen instructed me to make them just so. Goggles on, I leaned over the pier and splashed a reflection of myself in the water. I could drag a finger around or make a larger splash with my hand. I could even ripple the water by "lowering" my head towards the screen. And that was about it for my section (see above: brief!). But the most impressive thing I saw happened next."

Talk about wasting your time blogging about stupid shit.

Oh ok. This guy blogged about the water part being faked in the video, but here we have quotes from people who actually used it. I see now.

I think you have the right of it. Video fake (or poorly edited, or whatever), tech demo real. But I don't think quoting yourself is going to do much to help your credibility. :-p

Perhaps he wanted to bump his post so people would actually read information rather than just ignoring it and carrying on with misinformation. Even if the video was scripted there are numerous reports out there of people who played the demo and confirmed it worked really well as was demonstrated.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
