I like how you say those demonstrations failed as if you didn't just write a post about Natal which directly references them.
Because that's sort of the purpose of advertising. Bringing things to your attention and getting you to think and talk about them later. Maybe the Good Morning America spot didn't make you want Natal, but I don't see how it was a "failed demo". The game worked like it was supposed to. The episode aired. You're talking about it now and there are surely people out there who were impressed. So what's the problem?
Ah, wait a minute. I remember now. On Good Morning America, one of the hosts played for a bit and then when he stepped out and the other person stepped in, the system didn't recognize them right away. But then they took a step forward and it worked again. Is that what you meant? Is that what passes for a "failed demo" these days? It's a bit of a stretch.
