I gave it an 8. Almost all of the Kinect stuff actually surprised me on how cool it was. Well, except for SW, but maybe that's more fun to play than it looks (...). But lots of core experiences and surprisingly immersive 'better with Kinect' stuff. ME3 just about made me stand up and cheer.
The Dashboard enhancements were ALL great, but it looks like there is still nothing in place for US customers interested in XBLTV. I have a feeling that's going to be a problem.
Halo Anniversary looked like typical fanservice (should be a $30 game, but it won't), GeoW3 looks as good as anything releasing this year and FM4 (though not enough of a presence) looks quite promising. Was disappointed to not see any new Rare games or footage of the new Halo 4 graphics engine from Corrine Yu.
Overall it was a good show. People will complain because of the focus on Kinect, but as someone that doesn't own it I'm more interested in owning one now. But it didn't hit a homerun as a conference overall. On a typical grading scale, I'd give them a solid B.
