I've watched videos of Project natals absolutely perfect voice recognition and hand jesture recognition without a single hitch on stage, I've also swore blindly at my xbox trying to get it to sweep over to the apps page by voice command and almost lost my shit at the thing trying to pick out a song in Just Dance 3 before giving up and going to the controller to do it. Don't believe everything you see on a stage showing it working fine.

and then they yanked the brain out of kinect, oh wait 40 limbs nah we only need 20, oh and lets throw in a crappy 640x480 cam.  for voice turn your tv up as loud as you can while training kinect and find the noise level threshold.  i talk to kinect in my regular voice and it work just fine.

as for as on stage of course not but where not talking demos onstage but handson demonstraitions

I think the main issue I have with kinect is just the simple lack of a uniform set of controls to be used in the games, some games menus work okie but others that use the Just dance style scroll wheel type menu just dont work, one of the Worst was the arcade game wreckateer, if you wanna shoot high and to the right you need to put your right arm down by your side and the left arm out from your body slightly.... you know the Kinect Menu command. They just need to make sure anyone using a kinect dev kit is handed a list of basic "these hand commands are great for these ideas" and people can go from there.
