It's not just you Mark, I don't know how old you are but I'm 25 and I felt like a majority of the games shown were not for me. Everything is just explosions and face/neck stabbings.

as soon as it got to Smart Glass and they started shitting all over it I was done listening to it. Yah game wise that thing will be pretty fucking useless, but the implementation of touch control as a navigation tool is gonna be big when new consoles come out. The real impact of such tech (same as kinect so some extend) will be 2-3 years down the line when developers figured out what to do with the tech (again I don't think it be much useful for games per say, but to completely disregard it, is being completely blind to tech trend and the way people are consuming media these days). Again I don't know if it will be successful, but in theory and with the integration of MS new eco system coming with win8, I can see how smart glass can be useful for non gaming application on xbox.
