Yeah, it was really MS worst conference ever... They really want to turn their 360 into a Wii and abandon their core gamers crowd ??? It really puzzles me.
It's like throwing billions through the window, Xbox has so many fans. They risk losing in both core gaming AND casual gaming by going Wii too... I mean there's not a single core Kinect game. Not ONE...
MS investors already wanted them to stop with gaming, I think they'll definitely do that now, unless Kinect is VERY successful (maybe 5 % chance, not more...).

Yeah MS totally doesn't care about its core gamer. I mean Halo:Reach and Gears of War 3 aren't important at all. Also exclusive Call of Duty content for the next 3 years is garbage. Forza:Kinect is also non existent I'm sure I was just imagining that. Also a Crytek exclusive plus tons of big time multiplats are headed this way. All that has been thrown out the window.
Edit: I forgot Fable III. Nobody cares about that worthless game either.

Make of it what you will, but the general response from the gaming community including press was negative and I'm not sure that the Xbox brand can afford that right now.

Sorry mate that is rubbish and you know it. The overall media response to it has been very positive. I can show you lot's of links if you like? As i said above the only places where there seems to be negativeness is on forums i.e hardcore gaming forums/websites. That represents a tiny tiny % of gamers. For example youtube. Right now youtube are pimping the hell out of Kinect. It has a gigantic advert as it's background. That means that supposed half a billion people who use youtube every day see that. Which makes them aware of the product.
The people who are pissed are people who were expecting Kinect to be for the hardcore gamers. Every negative report say's the same thing. But when you actually read these hardcore gamers hands on previews your see they actually really liked it. Like as i also mentioned above http://kotaku.com/5565079/my-two-favorite-xbox-kinect-experiences-so-far?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed: kotaku/full (Kotaku)
The negatives are getting confused with the negatives for the conference itself. The showing on screen by MS was poor, but seeing and doing are two different things. Find me someone who has used Kinect and was not impressed.

Yep, you've replyied to the closing of my post, leaving all that I've written before out of it. It wasn't only about the Kinect event, but also the lack of core games and poor presentation. Even if Kinect sells milions of units, the most revenue comes from games sold. Hardware is usually close to breaking even. Go take a look at GAF forums or scroll through last days N4G news. FIrst impression is allways important and that's where MS blew it.
