Update 10:13 AM: Looks like you might get Milo in your home after all. Aaron Greenberg tweeted the following minutes ago:
"Project Milo absolutely continues in development at Lionhead Studios, it is just not a product we plan to bring to market this holiday"
Among the most talked-about absences from E3 2010 was the no-show of Milo. The computer-generated boy engendered reactions ranging from amazement to disgust at E3 2009, but never showed for 2010. If you've been waiting for the home version of Milo, though, you're going to be sad: According to Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg, he's just a tech demo.
“The Milo Project is something that Lionhead Studios in their labs had developed. Last year we unveiled the Project Natal technology, we showed a bunch of technology demos as part of that,” Greenberg said on ABC's Good Game. “And obviously [Milo] is a technology demo that continues to exist, but right now it’s not a game that we’re planning to bring to market.”
I was looking forward to locking that kid up in my basement and tormenting him... just like I've done to the others. (Oh, crap, said too much.)

Look at the SDF jumping the gun too soon, and now they have to eat crow, but first they'll have to remove their feet from their mouths.

All the pedos on the internet just shed a single tear.

too many developers keep getting sick of the kid and yell profane things at him

Micro$oft won't be releasing Milo because they couldn't secure a large enough supply of souls. Kinect is powered by the trapped souls of orphan children who once toiled in the Micro$oft Mines and Factories around the globe, FYI.

What are you people talking about Milo evolved into Kinect Animals, pets seemed like a better idea then some virtual kid.

I was really wanting someone to talk to. now i have to keep associating with these real humans that live in my home that keep calling me Dad. Damn u microsoft.

If it was just a tech demo why didn't they just come out and say that from the beginning. For example, "We have a new technology called 'whatever' and this is the kind of thing you will be able to do with it." I think the other commenters got it right: scripted and nothing more than trick to get the hype machine working overtime.

i I wanted to see how much you could do with him, If I had ever been in front of it, I'd be smacking him around just to see if he reacted right.

lol... As usual M$ fake demo was jus to get the hype train rolling and the fannies to piss themselves....same with this year's Kinect fake demos as well.
There will be alot of disappointed fannies if an when they buy into Kinect!!!

So, this means no object scanning and trying dresses before wearing them with Kinect? Don't worry Stephen, we all have our little secrets.

As soon as I seen Milo I figured, well this is just a tech demo to show what Natal can do.
Then E3 2010 comes and there is no mention of half the things shown in Milo.
I was interested in Kinect until E3, there was nothing worthy of buying a new peripheral shown.
As for the Playstaion Move,
An HD Wii isn't enough for me.

Would anyone have really bought this anyway?
