What's the deal Microsoft?


In early promotion for the new motion controller Kinect, Microsoft was advertising the integration with Netflix.  As this promo video shows, as well as the picture above.


 



 


Except now that Kinect has been released there is still no Netflix support.  


As Netflix said on twitter,



@sethcheek We cont to discuss the addition of Kinect features to the Netflix app on Xbox. No def plans or dates have yet been established.



If this is the case then why did Microsoft advertise like it was a working product?  This seems very similar to Microsoft's issue with Rovio, the creators of Angry Birds.


So the question stands, What's the deal Microsoft?
