ironman, that is not what "advanced" means.

I'm an avid 360 gamer. I'm playing Ninja Gaiden II right now. Console bias isn't entering into this.

Natal is not more advanced than the Wiimote. It's just different. It might do more in some aspects and less in others, but that doesn't make it more or less advanced, it just means it takes a different approach to motion sensing technology.

So what is your definition of "more advanced"? It isnt more advanced hardware. It isnt more advanced software.  It isnt a piece of hardware where the some of the parts adds up to a complex device. 

THe problem here is that you're thinking in terms of linear progression, which is absolutely fine, but you can't think in terms of linear progression across two different methodologies.

WM+ is more advanced than the Wiimote.

Natal is more advanced than the Eyetoy (assuming the Eyetoy doesn't use an object to perceive depth and so forth).

The two lines of advancement are not directly comparable. It would be like saying that the Wright brother's first airplane is more advanced than a hydrogen cell car, because it can fly and the car can't.

I see what you're saying and agree.

As for the tech in side I would say Natal is more advanced like a cell car is more advanced than the first plane.
Due to the fact that both are trying to offer motion capture and control n their own ways they will be lumped together even though its different tech. The similarities are too striking for most people to not see how they are different.

Personally I would be surprised if there wasn't a Wiimote type controller eventually for natal and natal type cam for the Wiimote in the future.
