Natal won't be useful until MS releases a new console, whenever that is, that's just how it's gonna work, it's the same with the PS3 motion control, they have to include all that as a standard package for the next console, they are way too late for this gen. Just think about it and it's clear, Nintendo's research and patent started back in 2001, Sony's was 2004(or 2005, can't remember,) and MS is a full year at best, it just goes off to show you that perfecting a tech and making it into full use is no easy task, maybe next gen.

It's also the softyware. When Nintendo launched the Wii, there were a ton of Wii Remote games. They even made Zelda one. I don't think Sony and Microsoft have the software either. They just showed tech demos. There is no third party games either. Plus, the consoles are too expensive, and people don't want to spend that much for a game console. They are just too little too late, and they don't have the backing to be succesful.

When Nintendo released the Wii they essentially just rebranded the Gamecube. So obviously the software would quickly follow. Microsoft/Sony could very well do the same.

Nintendo's always renamed their consoles because Nintendo is the brand. Nintendo= gaming.
Sony and Microsoft, however, have many fingers in many pies. They have invested a great deal in the Playstation and XBox names as their gaming brand, and I don't know that they will be willing to ditch those names.
