C'mon, they over-promised with Kinect and didn't deliver and they're doing the same with Kinect 2.

And please don't put words in my mouth, point out the part that I said Vita did nothing wrong........

I've seen plenty of gaming companies (hardware and software) not give us what they promised over the years. Maybe pointing out something on a MS console was a bad idea but Kinect it the most obvious recent one to not give us what they promised. I just found it strange and inconsistent to pull up the PSV while a lot of others go unpunished.

If it's the start of a crackdown on gaming companies then I welcome it.

and still you refuse to differentiate between an ad and a reveal of a concept... fine.  I'll leave it at that.

 

Again I'm not sure why you bolded that statement and made that comment. They don't correlate to each other. If you want to address my statement then stop focusing on one thing. My statement still stands, they over-promised and released a product that under-delivered. But yeah, I put that concept video up because that was the beginning of overpromising  that spread through MS reps and gaming events until it released and people realised that Kinect isn't what it was cracked up to be. Concept videos should represent the product and for me they misrepresented Kinect in their favor. They are doing the same with Kinect 2 but it still struggles getting basic voice commands right.  How many people bought the Kinect and were pleased with what they got? I know 4 people from my experience who feel they didn't get the product that they thought they were getting. Of course everybody's experience is different but from mine and what I've read, Kinect didn't deliver.

Anyway I didn't want to focus on MS because there are more examples. I can name examples where Sony showcased games to sell systems that didn't see the light of day. I can bring up countless times where we were showed bullshots to promote a game. It doesn't matter if it's a ad, pr quote or gaming event, it's all directed at the public.
