Once again the show is overhyped.  MS was smart to back away.  Ugh ...

Not according to the $500 million ad campaign for Kinect.  ;)

i heard this thing over 100 times,why can't you guys just stop?___king annoying

"You guys...?"  I for one hardly mentioned it.  But don't you think it's kind of ironic for one to claim that Microsoft is being smart by shying from overhype but yet it's a tactic they recently employed?  I'm not criticizing Microsoft here.  Just pointing out the irony of claimed situations.

So now an ad campaign is hype?  It's called advertising and it's something that every company does for every product, the amount of money is irrelvant to whether it constitutes hype or not.

That budget also likely covers an entire year (or more), not just launch.
