Some points.
Nintendo supposedly rejected the technology behind project Natal. (See thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=76187&page=1; Original article (though the site seems to be having issues right now): http://www.gamingfront.net/news/828/nintendo-rejected-project-natal-technology/)
Had Nintendo added on to its non-traditional controls while Sony and Microsoft did not, the gaming media would have had a field day. Nintendo is making them look foolish and they don't seem to take it well. Most called for Nintendo to go the Sega route (software only) for consoles.
Personally, I think it has potential but a lot of unknowns at present. It reminds me a lot of the playing the Eye Toy on the PS2. And for those who look at something from Microsoft with a jaundiced eye, remember Microsoft is the company known for "smoke and mirrors" demonstrations.
Right now, how people are saying this is perfect and a total change, without thinking it through, are in a rush to judgment. It could be. But there needs to be questions answered. Personally, I think it would be much more of a game changer in a new console rather than as an add-on. Those have not had the best success.
