Personally I was expecting more, I was surprised just Natal, the innovation potential and promise. The live demo of the product was not much further than the Sony's EyeToy does have a few good years, but the video that shows what Microsoft intends to do very impressed with the product.
Kojima was a surprise, although it was expected something like this since last year as Microsoft did the same with Square / Final Fantasy XIII. With these titles, Microsoft will ensure the growth of the Xbox as a platform and eliminates some distance between the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Who Loses in the midst of all this is that Nintendo sees Wii threatened by innovative control systems similar to what was different from other competitors. Let's see how it goes tomorrow at Nintendo's press conference, and Wednesday to Sony, we still have some surprises.
