They did everything they needed too and more.
The big stuff for me was a good demonstration of how Kinect can be used with the Xbox especially the jump menu and how the voice stuff could work. I especially liked the ESPN vote choice demo which was very cool, not so cool was the reference to Goal keepers.
The casual stuff was ok but what was really special from this area was the dance and fitness programmes which really demostrated what 3rd parties could do. I do wonder why you would buy a Wii Fit when you can get this, it looked very impressive.
Some good core stuff demonstrated also which should satisfy most apetites.
A smaller whisper quiet 360 was cool but draft N was the icing on the cake who knows it may even change my opinion on Wi Fi if it proves to be as reliable as my power plugs.
All in all a very good show and certainly will make for some strong sales in the US for the remainder of the year.
That said the Star Wars demo at the end was awesome and I think really showed how Kinect can work in a game.
