I was in the industry for nearly a decade and have witnessed so many similar situations. Hadn't heard about this one though, thanks for sharing. I was around in those days and was super excited about the Kinect but we didn't make anything in house with it so I never got the opportunity to see it function properly.
It's one of the reasons Lionhead had to cancel the "Milo" game they showed off with the Kinect announcement. Without the on-board processing, the stuff they had already built couldn't run.
