Microsoft's  E3 press conference may have not been as strong as Sony and Nintendo's, but gamers were able to see how the company's foray into motion control will affect their holiday push. Despite the mass amount of demonstrations, Microsoft revealed a release date for Kinect (formerly Project Natal) on November 4, along with the support of 15 launch titles. No price point was announced, but Microsoft promises to reveal that during the summer.

Many of Kinect's features were shown off during the conference including its ability to recognize and sign-in people, how it can track a person using its motarized tilt and using voice commands for things like accessing Zune or pausing a video. Microsoft also showed off VideoKinect, a video chatting program that will also be extended to Windows Live. Such a service would, in theory, allow the PC and Xbox to interact and video-chat together. Everything they showed seemed to work very well on stage and I hope it works that well once we get it into our living rooms this fall.
