This.
Seriously, guys I saw more intelligent debates at NeoGAF! :o Even about Malstrom!
Yes, Malstrom is a stupid, arrogant asshole , and he is an Nintendo MegaFanoy. Also, he eats his own poop.
Now could you please explain why the Natal has absolutely zero software lineup, why is it planned to be released at earliest when its console will be 5 years old, why did they announce a skateboard controller right before the Natal, that is supposed to make it obselete?

They said during the show that development kits were being sent out now. Some of the first games that will appear for it will likely be casual in nature and I can't really see those games having very long development times. If anything some of the first games for it might be some of the games we now see on the Wii. Companies could also take existing games and offer support for it, strategy games being a good example. As for the skateboard controller the concept might have been in development for two years or more.
It's funny how a lot of people bashed Microsoft before when they had an E3 press conference that basically only showed games that were releasing the same year and now that they've actually showed their future plans they're being bashed again. I guess it's impossible to please everyone.

The problem with development kits being sent out is that third parties generally aren't interested in carrying the burden to drive hardware sales. That's the job of the first party and third parties hop on board. This means Microsoft themselves have to make the first step and showcase games that are able to sell Natal. Which they didn't.
If Microsoft expects that third parties are going to do MS's job to sell the hardware, they are delusional.

I think the success of the Wii's peripherals and those of games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band has changed everything. Ubisoft is going to release a camera with its execise software, then there's Activision with their skateboard and music periperals. Then you have EA and their success with EA Sports Active. I think you're going to see some third-parties jump on this in the hopes they'll have the next Wii Fit or Wii Sports.
