Top E3 Moments of Ownage And Insanity

E3 2010 – Microsoft’s Kinect Disaster

The Cirque Du Soleil event to reveal the product, complete with blue ponchos worn in the audience, was disturbing enough.

As depressing as it was, the first Kinect was a huge success for Microsoft even if its follow-up crashed and burned.
