I kinda agree with the article. The others have caught up or surpass the wii. It's one thing going for it is no longer unique.
MS has finally found a solution to rule the world. A "cctv" in the household that can recordrecognise your face and send the image to their databases. If the recent report of euro laws being pass to allow government officials to investigate the hard drive of any online PC ( this must be with MS's approval) are push through this year then be prepared for those images to end up in the governments database as well. Cool!
MS took nitendo's inovation (and PS2's eyetoy) and came up with a winning (e3) formula.
Kudos, if you are gonna copy something at least take it a step further.
Sony just copied Nintendo but announced some good games.
MS owned this E3 simply by creating a buzz. Brilliant.
The big loser will be/is Nintendo.

Are you serious? They didn't even show any games with it. And it's not like it's going to support many big games, and it's bound to be expensive. I don't get the hype for NATAL if we don't know jack about it and what games it'll support.
Big loser is Nintendo? That's laughable.

Here we go again. I have already cleared this up (more or less) in a reply earlier but just to be sure I'll do it again. Remember we are talking
about E3. I can't predict the future any more than you can (although I like to think I can).
Creating a media buzz is what wins E3 regardless of what the individual thinks or their personal opinion. Natal is all over the internet
and the press. This is the kind of coverage that can attract interest and increase sales, but that's another matter.
It doesn't matter what games they show or whatevever. The average person picking up a newspaper or seeing it on TV don't care about that.
They see or read about something that's "new" to gaming.
If you create no massive buzz or fail to get the mainstream multi-console gaming magazines and website talking about what you produced at E3 (or get a mention after everyone else) you loose.
From what I have gathered Nintendo failed to do this. Even Sony gets more of a mention with their copycat controller.
Remember, I am talking nintendo at E3. Not Nintendo the overall business.
