The thing about Natal is that, much like Sixaxis and WM+ before it, it's motion control done wrong: too focused on 1:1 and not enough on actual gaming interfaces. The unreliable camera technology doesn't help either, nor the fact that it doesn't come with the console (a mistake it shares with WM+). This might have had a chance if there weren't already a competitor in the market that gets motion right, but as it stands, it won't last very long in the marketplace.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
