I think most people are getting the wrong idea here. This is not ment to challange the Wii, it is ment to be a trainner/prototype. It will be used to give developers a chance to practice new programming technices for this system, and to work out any bugs that can occure. That way the developers will be ready when this is a standard control on the XBox720.

Microsoft is not stupid. They know that an add on controller will never see the same success as the WiiMote. But if gamers get of taste of the new control formate this generation and developers have some experiance programming for it, then Microsoft will be one step ahead at the begining of the next generation.

Remember all the problems that developers had developing games for the WiiMote at the begining of this generation? Microsoft can skip most of those problems at the begining of the next generation by releasing NATAL now and giving developers some practice time.
