Did Microsoft announce a ship date for Milo?

They sold this thing for the 360, you were supposed be able to do this for the 360. There was footage and this project was addressed as a GAME:

Then Micro back-pedaled and said it was never a project.
You can't take things for granted.

Correction, you can't take what Peter Molyneux says for granted.
That being said, the only thing Molyneux said was that it would eventually come out in a game. Not when. He didn't specific a time frame, he didn't specify a year, he just said it would be a game, eventually. You also have to understand that Milo was Molyneux's baby. It was something he had worked on since 2006, LONG before Microsoft began working on Kinect. Milo was named after his own nephew. So, Milo was personal to Molyneux. It was his pet project. Of course he wanted to see it come to reality as a retail product.
But ask yourself, who would have bought it? You'd have to be an EXTREMELY controlling, passive-aggressive personality in order to want to tell someone, even an AI, how to live their life. What they should do or what they shouldn't do. You'd also have to be pretty damn lonely to want to socialize with an AI.
Which is why there was an immediate disparity between Microsoft and Molyneux as to whether Milo was a tech demo or if would be released as a retail product. Executives above Molynew said no, it was a tech demo. Molyneux said it would be a retail product to be released in the future.
Microsoft has said, it will release in Holiday 2013. So unless something significant happens in the manufacturing process, i.e. a plant blows up, it'll happen.

That conversation your putting forward is interesting and all and I can reply back and talk to you about it after you answe: was Milo promised and pushed by Micro as an experience you would get from Kinect, yes or no? The answer is yes, it was in the presentation, it was a supposed feature that meant to showcase what the technology would do. And they never released it.
Answer that and then I will talk about Molyneux and the viability of the Milo game.
