Care to elaborate on that?

First, I need to apologize that I did not notice I was reading Maelstrom's Narta article instead of the E-mail: Project Nartal - Where's the business plan article posted by the Op. I meant subjective for this article, what with all the accusation of moneyhatting, parody and rather condescending tone toward the whole conference. As for his arguments, I meant for things like playing FPS with a camera, which if you program it well enough it can be done. (But not necessarily better than Mouse+Keyboard or Wiimote+Nunchuk, of course), I have more but I am planning to post something else right now. If you want further elaboration, I'd be happy to PM you.

 

Just keep in mind, I only have and plan to own only a Wii and a DS (+ my PC, played primarily) for this generation, so I can't really comment on other platforms too much beyond the realm of possibility achievable with technology presented. Just because I don't believe Malstrom's article is unbiased and/or all arguments are particular good, doesn't mean I believe Natal will really deliver or worth all the hype without seeing something more concrete.

P.S: I do agree that Vista was crap when it was crap... or massive disappointment when it come out though. I also think there's a business plan for Natal, I just don't believe it is any good... or will work...
