They could not have done this at E3. It would have been painful in a live show. How do you announce, to the cheers of the audience, that you're scuttling what was once the crown jewel of your system? It would be the same as admitting to another mistake, right in front of a live group of gamers who mostly didn't care about Kinect to begin with. You don't do that live, you do that with press releases. Sure, you can spin it if you try really hard but you still have an announcer up there trying to smile through what is bad news to them.
Microsoft is going to want E3 to be as positive as possible. I expect all the iffy stuff to be announced prior to their presentation.
