I really apreciate some of Xbox's directions and I'm quite sure that I'll buy a 720 but seing Xbox fans happy about Microsoft going 10 times more casual than Nintendo it's just priceless.


I think you are SO missing the point here.  Yes the tech demos are casual in nature - and they are clearly telling developers "we can do Wii too" - but the thing that is mind-blowing about that hardware capability is the extent of the possibilities - and make no mistake - they go WAY beyond anything the Wiimote is capable of.  

If that demo of Milo that Peter Molyneaux was showing is ANYWHERE near as legit as they made it seem, then this is revolutionary.  And I am not talking gaming.  Think of how touch screens changed everything.  Now make it voice-recognizing, facial-recognizing, extraneous movement-filtering, etc.  Seriously?  And the complexity of the interactions in that demo are mind numbing.  Think of how many possible reactions have to be programmed for a real conversation to take place.

This is NOT about being able to play Boom Blox without a remote.  This is much more.

 

IF it works.

 

 

Ofc that demo it's 100% scripted. He is saying something like "WHAT IF this would be possible using Artificial Intelligence ..." thing which is many many years far from possible.

Even if it would be possible, do you think you will ever see that in game ? Would they work several months on each RPG NPC to make it like that ? It's awesome tech, I say it again, but you won't see anything more advanced than Wii Sports in the next 5 years coming out of it. Please think about it and be honest with yourself.

Wii's huge advantage is that it's a BRIDGE between classic and full motion. Wiimote's highest plus it's IR not motion. IR openened a lot of posibilities while closing almost none.

Retarded developers abused motion thus making players wave their hands like *******. It's developer fault here. Serious games uses quite few motion moves and plenty of buttons.

Also this technology it's nothing new, it has been done many years ago. The only new thing is having it included in a home console.
