Well...

Developer's leaving. Staged demo. Lack of "Quality" software. Huge rumored pricing.

I hope they have some great games to show at the real conference.

This is the problem for MS and Sony...  if they show 'wii-like' games then they are copying.... if they show more hardcore games where motion is an option then the reaction will be whats the point? 

They have to be innovative in software to satisfty some people and I dont see how they can be.... 

Yep. It's also the advantage that Sony have over MS on this one, as IMO at least, it's a lot easier to make games using a controller with buttons and such than it is without one.

Sports Champions and Kinect Sports have already had the "copying" card played at them. But hey, it's not exactly like NIntendo CREATED the genre, so it's easy enough to combat.

The lightsaber game could have proven to be REALLY big, but it seems to be an on-rails :/

the other thing is that move has an edge in 3rd party development. because games like RE: the darkside chronicles and dead space: extraction which didnt fare so well on the wii can be brought cross platform. about the lightsaber thing, star wars games have never been, good expect for 2 exceptions. but i have no doubt this SWs game will be awful anyway.

You realize that RE:DSC is at 600k yes?  And Dead Space Extraction has already been announced for both PSN and XBLA lol
