I know a lot of people dislike the conference, but I think it was just "good". Not the best, but also not awful like E308 Nintendo Conference....

Had Microsoft announced a non-Halo exclusive game, and maybe shed some light on it's more "core" kinect titles like Project Dragon, Steel Battallion, Rise of Nightmares, and HEavy Fire: Afghanistan, it could have been a good showing. Ghost Recon showed potential for Kinect hardware to mainstream gamers. However this never happened. It was an okay showing, but outside of Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable and Kinect, MS really has nothing. How many years can they sustain themselves on just that?

I mean would it really have been that difficult to strike up a deal with some developer to make a new IP of the same quality as LEft 4 Dead or Lost Odyssey? Project Kingdoms could have been so much more.

Of course that could be better, but even Nintendo "won" last year with only established franchises. And well, the conference was not this...
