The niche adventure reviewers are a lot more tolerant to that, but i expect the Xbox version to have a very low metacritic score, and that will generate bad publicity and even lower sales.

Yes, very true.
I'm surprised their focus wasn't the PC, DS and Wii. It's going to be a vain attempt for Jane and co. to try and reach out to the more 'hardcore' 360 gamers. No doubt there are quite a few 360/'hardcore' gamers out there who enjoy old skool adventures (like me  ), but it'll only be a small percentage.

Render inventory items as objects you can manipulate in space and zoom into for closeups and details. Take advantage of the 3D to engineer puzzles where positional 5.1 surround sound is a key element in the solution. Create dynamic atmospheric weather and day/night cycles, fully realized physics and motion capture, environmental puzzles and situations that surround the character.
Feature in-game cutscenes that allow us to actually interact with people, places, and things while the cutscene happens in real time, like this: Uncharted 2 cutscene 1
...or this: Heavy Rain: The Taxidermist (DLC)*SPOILER: heart racing suspenseful moments*
...or this: Bioshock: opening sequence

If only they could and had the budget...
