The tech Microsoft will use are grander than the Xbox360 and the PS3, it’s the future of how you will interact with your TV, PC, mobile and Xbox360.
The thing will probably be compatible with mediacenter and Win7. You will control everything with gestures and sound, flicking around your menus (music, movies and games) and speak instead of writing. If that’s not a cool factor then I don’t know what is (and yes I am the guy who thinks “clapping to turn on the lights” is cool).
It's not necessary for games to have full support for it, they can implement parts to complement the Xbox controller, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw
