While it may have something to do with being fed up with both the PR hype over Kinect combined with the Microsoft/Xbox fan brigade's attempt to feign enthusiasm over games like Kinect Adventures, I have to say that when watching videos made by gamer/reviewers who weren't enlisted by Microsoft to promote Kinect, it appears to fall short of what was initially promised.
They were neither being paid to promote Kinect, nor were they doing any sort of privileged special closed door sneak preview and the general lack of enthusiasm (from guys that admittedly would probably be happier previewing Halo Reach) was pretty apparent. They didn't feel obligated to make excuses at any rate.
While I'm sure a lot of these issues will be sorted out over the next 1-2 years, initially, when comparing what is very close to the production product to the concept simulations from a year ago, there is definitely more than just a thing or two missing.
Once you get past the novelty, which is really starting to look a lot more like PSEye/EyeToy stuff (also fun until the novelty wore off), the initial games just don't look like they deliver. This is not to say that people still won't buy it or even enjoy it as quite a few people who were relatively new or completely new to video games were perfectly happy playing games on the Wii by randomly shaking a remote in more than just a couple titles, but it would be very beneficial in promoting Kinect to the typical Xbox gamer (who isn't dedicated to doing free promotion for whatever MS is selling) if they actually publicly previewed some games that would appeal to those who prefer the bread and butter of the Xbox that includes Halo, Gears of War, Fable, etc.
