dood, this chick scared me shitless is all I know. I mean, come on! I don't want to play my games like this man! god!

You obviously don't get it.  It is not about competing with the WiiMote, much less the eyetoy, it is about making them completely irrelevant.

This thingie is interesting, and it has some potential, but I don't think it will ever be a big hit, and there's a simple reason for that.

Games sell controllers, not the other way around. And I still do not think Microsoft is committed enough to this controller/thingie to make a world-changing game like Wii Fit or Wii Sports.

this is f...ing awesome. I love you Microsoft. This my friends is the Wii KILLER!!!

Surely you jest.

Xbox360 fanboys call the wii mote a gimmick, but they praise this?

THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF A GIMMICK. Seriously, what kind of world do we live in. The ignorance is just too funny sometimes.

Anyway, this won't take of because it's too late.

Irrelevant in what sense?

If you mean that tech fans would drool because, yes it's true, is a terrific technology, yeah it may happen. But within mainstream audiences seems unlilkely.

wait a second, this thread is starting to sound familiar, like from a few months ago O_O;;.

This is something I never would have expected from you. A defence of something other than a PS3.

Anyway. I thought it was an amazing piece of technology. The R&D alone must have been staggering. There is a potential for this to be used on ALL types of games, allthough RPGs pop out at me the most. Sure there will be developer problems, and it will be buggy at first. But I think it will revolutionize gaming as we know it. Anybody who was not impressed is obviously just hatin' on MS. You cannot deny that IF they can get this out to the market for a reasonable price, and IF they can work out any bugs which they may come across, and IF they work with game studios to perfect gaming with this thing, they will have changed the course of the gaming industry. Sony and Wii had better come out with something AMAZING tomorrow Also, as a side note, my wife just told me that if they did a Wii FIT type of "game" she would want one. 

Is there a vid of the conference? Did they demo Milo on stage? So far I've only seen the pre-produced demo video, and it looks 99% fake to me. Really, voice recognition, text interpretation, AI: these issues are so complex, there's just no way MS solved them all. Milo's voice wasn't synthesized either, it was prerecorded. You don't really expect a 200$ toy to do what universities around the world won't accomplish in another 10 years, do you? Milo will probably feature a large library of phrases he "understands" and "speaks", but he doesn't have a neural network that would enable him to understand stuff he isn't programmed to.
