@daroamer: I'm not saying it's a failure, I'm just saying I don't see how Lee's observation about being "way advanced" translates into anything tangible.

Did you not read any of the reports of people actually using the device?  The reports have been unanimously positive, with a few nitpicks on things that still need work.  You don't think that's tangible?  All the reports of people using Natal to play Burnout have spoken about how immersive and natural the experience is.  Just because an avatar got twisted doesn't mean other things didn't work extremely well.

That's just tracking the hands and one foot, not full-body tracking.

Not downplaying some achievements, just saying the quotes in the OP look way inflated.

 

LOL, so you think it was only programmed to follow the hand and foot? :P

I'll see if I can find the article I read which discusses this but next to the demo setup they had in the room for press was a laptop that was running the software for Natal, on it you could see your entire 3D structure as you moved.  It was tracking the whole body, it's just that the game was set up to be controlled by the hands and feet.  It not like they couldn't have used your elbows or shoulders to control the car but that would be silly.
