I'm so glad none of you guys are game developers thinking of new and refreshing ideas for Natal, all your doing is thinking of barriers, it's pathetic. By looking at all the hate and rage Natal is getting now its blatant a lot of Nintendo fans are starting to get worried.


Worried about what? A peripheral that isn't going to support any big games and only new IPs that can make use of it, and will not be a threat it any way to the Wii, neither sales wise or fanbase wise (Nintendo already has the casual market on a lock. Casuals aren't going to buy a $200+ 360 with whatever else the 360 needs, NATAL, and games that support it when they can easily go for the cheaper Wii or DS). And developer wise, the Wii has more options for traditional gameplay, and a much higher userbase. So what's your point, exactly?

Just explain to everyone on here again how you're privvy to that knowledge exactly?  Microsoft have already said they will get it working with existing games so thats one point you're wrong on.  I can understand why a Nintendo fanboy doesn't see the value in new IP's but that could come across as being too harsh I guess.  I really don't care about them trying to capture the casual market, I just want them to provide existing owners with more choice which is the goal of Natal. 

Funny how given the utter drought of "hardcore" titles that have hit the Wii as the best selling console this generation that it has more options, it would appear you're wrong in that regard too.  Your post is the point I was making, last week you had no issues with the 360 it was seen as no threat anymore to the success of the Wii, it would just cruise along in 2nd or 3rd place till the end of the generation.  A week later and all you can do is post as negatively as you can regarding a exciting new controller in some ill conceived attempt at damage control. 

The OP said if Nintendo had unveiled this they would be slated, the response from the Nintendo community on here has been to do exactly that to Microsoft.  If you want to cry about being treated more harshly than other companies with innovative products then you would all do well not to prove the fact false with your comments you've made in this thread.  Carry on slating Natal though, there is going to be a lot of crow to eat from this thread next year.
