I watched it too and it did seem as if the little girl was acting from a script, but I believe she was actually plaing with Kinect. As were the other games they demonstrated. The Kinect sports looked as fun or more than Wii sports and it seemed to be responsive enough. The fitness game looked as if it had about a half second delay, could be the big screen video display was slightly delayed though. I'll wait till they have display kiosks in the stores till I judge that facet.
The only thing that I see as a big issue will be price. If it comes out under a hundred bucks with the sports game as a pack-in, I think it'll sell pretty decent. If it comes out at $150, then I think it's gonna sell really poorly. We'll see. I think it's a very cool concept, though, and the demo fleshed out all the details as to how it'll work for menus without a controller or remote. It looked very cool to me.
But the little girl and her Tiger kinda creeped me out, honestly.
