if Nintendo had shown Natal instead...

It's not too hard to find them.  Just look through the 2005/2006 archives of pretty much any news site and you'll dig them up readily enough.  Said jabs often appear even in non-Nintendo-centric articles and analyses.  To wit, here's some of the delightful bits from Kotaku's pre-launch Revolution trash-talking:

And the analysts had to get a word in, too, of course.

Then its exactly as I thought. Pretty much every link you gave me pointed to their pessimism based on Nintendo's past track record with consoles.You are confusing hate in the media with cautian based on Nintendo losing passed console wars and getting less and less sales each consecutive generation.In fact, some that say they aren't completely "certain about the controls" sounds extremely familiar to the vocals against the Natal that think that it "might not work".

Oh, and half those links are NOT the media, specifically the ones who don't like the controller. They are other console/game devs. Give me links that actually prove YOU are right, not that the competition doesn't like the Wii.
