Hmmmmm... considering that Sony's controller does not allow a character to move whatsoever, and can only be used if you have or buy a PS Eye as well, and it only maps one single point of movement, it is in last place.
Natal can at least track your entire body, or multiple bodies, and interpret your voice or face for simple commands.
The WMP is definitely the current leader. I think Natal is targeting a different audience, though. If you paid attention to the conference, Natal is all about targeting the 60% of households that still do not have a games console. It is about making the games so incredibly fun and intuitive that even people who won't go near the Wii will give it a try. The Wii relies on a controller and buttons. Some people still find using the controller a difficult/confusing/intimidating task and are turned off by it. Trust me, I've seen people even suck at Wii type games and if you think these kinds of people don't exist, you are ignorant.
So, in reality for the current market WMP is the leader. For the new market, there will be 2 leaders. The Wii taking the ones who can and will use a controller, Natal taking those that still haven't gotten into gaming because of the roadblock that is the controller to them. Sony's attempt will be last because it can't even match the Wii since there is nothing on it that enables you to move your character, it requires the use of the dated tech that is the PS Eye, and only tracks one point (Wii tracks 2 points, Natal tracks whole body). |
wow.. do you even know the tech in the PS Eye? The Natal is more advanced but the PS Eye can do everything the Natal can do just not in as grand of a scale which is why it needs something like Sony's wand.
I will straight up say the Natal vs PS Eye the Natal is a clear winner by a mile but if its PS Eye + Sony's wand then Natal is screwed.

Nope. The PS Eye can not handle tracking more than simple color changes in 2D space. The Wand allows them to track one point in 3D space.
Natal can track your entire body and even multiple bodies, plus understand your voice and recognize your face, all in 3D space. The only advantage the Sony motion controls has is the buttons, but again, as I explained, Natal is not meant to target the same people who already enjoy the Wii for it's motion controls with joystick and buttons.

sigh.. last post... dahuman understands this just as well as I.. Sony's tech isn't low grade. It uses the same tech as their current controllers plus more. I am going to end posting here because this is becoming worthless restating the same thing over and over again. Dahuman is here so he can handle that.

Lol, neither you nor dahuman knows what they are talking about. See the post above yours. The Sony controller does not allow you to move your character around in more than a localized space. And I never said the tech was low grade, I merely told you exactly how the tech in the PS Eye works. It tracks color changes in 2D space. This new controller is simply a Wii-Mote without the nunchuck so you can do all the shooting type games and get 1:1 accuracy, but can't move any characters. It also still only tracks that one spot in 3D space and anything else would be 2D space tracking. The Wii tracks 2 points in 3D space, Natal tracks bodies, limbs, faces, hands, feet, torsos, etc.
I'm not trying to downplay Sony's tech, I'm just stating the actual situation here instead of trying to make it sound greater than it is.
