What's the deal?

As someone said in the comments, if they were gonna manual advance the "slides" with a physical control it would've been much easier and less suspicious to have someone off stage do it.

Hmm yeah.... ya know, at this point, not much can surprise me anymore.

After that Milo thing turned out to be faked, I'll never be surprised at these things.

Holy hell!  I thought the bad news was done but oh no!

The hits just keep coming huh? I can't believe how much effort is put into picking Microsoft apart.

Don't be silly, they wouldn't dare to do something like that at the reveal of the box.

Xbox go home you're drunk.

Not surprised. That Skype convo pretty much confirmed it wasn't real.

first thing i thought was "this thing will not work nearly as well as they are presenting it"

and i know i'm gonna be right. it'll just be easier to use the controller to navigate. 

I guessed as much, doesn't mean the technology doesn't work, even if it was me I wouldn't risk it messing up on such a high profile presentation, it's a bit like presenting games on God mode which is common

Nothing suprising, all of the presentations are staged. I do however wonder if all of those features will work that smooth in the final product.

Well it kind of makes sense they did that they would not want anything to go wrong. At a press conference like that you don't leave anything to chance.

It was a bit obvious, the moment i saw how quickly the guy was navigating with his voice from the first try I started questioning if its THAT advanced in voice recognition or if someone is switching the slides behind the scenes.

LOL, so they were worried that the flash in the pan gimmick wouldn't work on stage? LOL

no suprise, reminds me of beyonce lip syncing.

You people will believe anything written on the internet. It amuses me.

Maybe they didn't want to risk someone from the audience shouting "Xbox, Off" or "Xbox, open internet explorer, search porn" and ruining everything :P

I thought this was obvious. And even if the technology works flawlessly you do NOT do it for real on stage because of all the interference and in this case the sound disturbance. I mean he is talking in a mic in a superbig tent.
The 'conversation' was clearly pre-recorded.

He was talking for half an hour about Xbox features. Don't you think the console might respond during his 30 minute talk in an undesireable way while they were saying TV, TV, TV? There is no way it was realtime, absolutely no way. It remains to be seen how well it actually works in reality.

Milo was fake too.

I'm not surprised by the smoke and mirrors (Sony's E3 2005, Milo, Wii U tech demos, etc.).

who cares , either it works as advertised or it doesnt. Only way to find out is wait for release.
