Kinect is not playable on the show floor. The skepticism around Microsoft is not misguided or childish hate, it's justified. It appears they are not confident in their own product.
Nintendo, on the other hand, constantly pushes for people to play their products, so they can make their own judgement, because they are confident it will be received well. Whether it's the Wii, 3DS, or Wii Motion Plus, this is how they operate. It works because I'll believe normal people over Microsoft's controlled subjects any day.
edit: Apparently is playable, so disregard the above
