And...it would have been nice to see Kinect bring something innovative to the party.
So the thing that tracks your full body with just a camera isn't innovative?
Granted, the games are similar to what we've seen, but what else can be done? Kinect isn't some magical thing that's gonna open up a fourth dimension. It's going to take what's made some motion controlled games work and make them better. Your Shape, Dance Central, and Kinectimals are simply better than their Wii/DS counterparts.
When did that not become enough? I can't imagine how you enjoy anything. Brand new Zelda game? Pfft. Seen this before. Bulletstorm? Another Doom clone. Yawn.
I think most of us were hoping for something different, instead of "like x, but better".
Or some applications that added something to traditional games.
Look, there's a friggin reason I don't own a Wii. I don't want dance games, or "family sports" games, or virtual pet games. I personally have a pretty good reason to be disappointed in what I saw.
My bet is on some charts pointing out the various ways they are printing money, nothing terribly interesting, but nothing facepalm worth either (2008, I'm looking at you). Also, they will continue to release the same 3 games for the next year for mainstream titles.

Well that's your fault. The entire industry has pretty much been "like x, but better" for a long time. There's just not a whole lot of room anymore for real never-before-seen innovation.

Really looking forward to this and Sony's keynote. I hope Kevin Butler makes an appearance at Sony's.

I am a freaking nerd.
Sure hope Nintendo can prove to me that the industry isn't dead yet.
