if Nintendo had shown Natal instead...

Of course, the practical ramifications have to be considered, as well: Nintendo would not have presented anything as half-finished as Natal on the show floor; they would've given it a Vitality Sensor-esque showing with no demonstration if they were going to reveal it at a stage when it's so clearly not show-worthy (by their standards, at least). And then too, I can't see Nintendo developing a product like Natal. It shoots well past "good enough" and enters into the Uncanny Valley of motion controls, where you're not quite at 1:1 virtual reality controls, but past 1:1 object-centric controls.

But yes, there would be the usual anti-Nintendo sentiment. Mostly because MS pays good money to make sure that Nintendo doesn't get a good rap, and because the gamers they've won over from the Nintendo camp are about as friendly towards Nintendo as ex-Catholics are to Catholicism.

Now that is 100% Malstrom material. Nintendo will never get anything good out of the current gaming press.Maybe it will come from a "new press".
