E3 Speculation: Could this console gen not end the way some people expect?

[shams]

I'll need to see something much more "specific" along with software before passing judgment.

But I don't think "full body motion sensing" is that big a deal. I don't believe it can be as accurate as WiiFit/Motion+, will have no buttons, no tactile feedback, and poses a lot of questions (handling multiple people, people walking in front of you, light conditions, ...).

EyeToy did the 'simple' stuff, and between this and the Wii - I think most cases are covered.

Asking people to actually "move around a lot" in their living rooms is just impractical. The Wii is bad enough - and that doesn't actually involve any real body/leg motion.

...

I do agree that MS's biggest drawcard is XboxLive - but at the same time, this becomes a complex 'turn off' for casuals. Virtually everyone I know who is into the 360 is a gamer, or someone very familiar with PCs. I don't know a single 'true casual' who is into the 360 in any form.

Anyway, it sounds interesting - and there is no doubt that motion capture/motion controls is the future. So I'll be interested to see what they do...
