no games?

lol people are saying no games

Ms isn't stupid they will launch a game with it

ALSO UBISOFT STATED at their briefing that they are working with it too

 Ubisoft is working on their own camera with Nintendo. If you take a look at the My Shape game, the motion camera comes with the game. It would be potentially bad if MS let Ubisoft into the tech, as they could use it to enhance the UbiCam for the Wii. This would be counterproductive for the Natal system, as the UbiCam is set to launch this year. If the casuals get something very similar to Natal earlier, it effectively shuts down that market entirely for MS.

I've seen you provide this info before, but it seems no ones listening (or reading). This is so important because, if it does take off then M$ is screwed, and if it doesn't take off M$ is screwed because it will show the market for Natal, is null. Also Sony would be screwed if the Cam picks up on WM+. But tbh, I don't think either of the tech will be supported, at least not this gen.

Unfortunately, while our shared logic is sound, these are extremist times. They don't want to acknowledge this data, because it takes their ammunition away for arguing on the forums. It's really not much different than when this console generation launched. People were screaming how great the 360 and PS3 were, and the Wii blew past them both. Now you got the same thing, regarding who has the superior motion controls, and it will continue to repeat the same pattern again.

What MS should have focused on instead of competing with Wii motion controls, is enhancing their online experience. MS has a superior console network experience. If they started opening up to more MMO based games, they can have a potential fanbase the size of WoW. They wouldn't have to make another game again, just maintain servers and update content.

Sony would have been better pursuing their breakaway controller for motion controls rather than try to implement a Wiimote clone with a camera. It would have suited more games better, and allow their userbase to enjoy Wii-like controls without jumping off the deep end.
