    Having a slow connection in Australia, is there anywhere I can download the keynote speech from to watch later (without horrible buffering)?

      It’s something that has been extremely successful, is one of the big reasons they’ve seen increased console sales over the past year and plays well to a mainstream audience/press (something you’re going to get a lot more of at an event like CES than E3).

      Why wouldn’t they push it?

      Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see a little less Kinect focus and a little more traditional game focus but I don’t blame them for pushing Kinect, nor do I want to see them abandon it like some other people seem to want.

        But “traditional games” havent gone anywhere, if anything, kinect is relieving the stress placed on them, more or less, because that market has been overcrowded for the last few years. I have no idea where people get this idea/assumption that kinect is going to do away with games as we currently know it, because thats only going to happen if people stop buying them altogether

        I guess I should clarify, when I said that I wish Microsoft would focus a little more on traditional games, I was solely referring to their events, more specifically E3, which I think is the wrong place for them to be doing demos like Kinect Disneyland Adventures or Sesame Street.

        I’m very pro-Kinect (The Gunstringer was one of my favourite games of 2011) so I’m fully for games that support it (though at the same time, I don’t want to see MS’ studios or any studio for that matter force it in where it makes no sense).

        Maybe, E3 isnt just an event for the media, its also where retailers send people to check out the games they’ll stock in the coming months, as well as non game specific news outlets. Its an important place for most games, not just the quote unquote “hardcore gamer”.

        well it seems as if they dont even care about core exclusives anymore,whenever they mention exclusives now its got kinect games which are mainly kids games.

        xbox needs to focus on more exclusives than just halo,gears,forza,alan wake cause at this rate if xbox live was on the ps3 id probably actually start playing the ps3 more than xbox.

        Why? the 360 is doing perfectly fine as it is, unlike Sony (unfortunately). Both 2010 and 2011 have proven that we’re long past the point where “core exclusives” matter, because quite frankly they dont, people already own PS3’s and 360’s, and they’ll buy games regardless of who they come from.

    Worst…Keynote….Ever comicbookguy.jpg

    Seriously though, I don’t know what Microsoft is thinking.  I mean I understand that you guys want to be more like Apple.  I know you want to go on your own and announce your products on your own time like Apple.  I understand that you are trying to appeal to the mass general public then business more so then ever in order to be like Apple….I know you are simplifying everything so the end user that may have no idea how to even type on a keyboard yet alone use a pc can navigate one of your products in order to be more like Apple. 

    I understand this….I get it.

    What I don’t understand is how can you come to your LAST show at the biggest consumer electronics expo in the country and be so awkward. Leave the crowd going wtf is this….etc etc.  After seeing this keynote, I am worried about what is going to happen at E3…hell I should probably be worried after last years E3…. 

    Where is the awesome Microsoft from 10 years ago?
