If it's a peripheral controller it's a gimmick, if it's the new standard controller for the HD Twins, then it depends.
Note: Microsoft till now have used the Xbox 360 to make a clone of the PS3, their goal isn't to do better than the PS3 it's to be the PS3.
When people think PS3 they know about the Xbox 360, the reason for the massive price drops weren’t to be below the Wii because 250 is some magical number, it’s because it’s a cheap PS3 and would hurt Sony dropping the price further which is probably why they lost the intent to compete in that way any further once they realized price drops sustained price drops and not sales.
I know little of the differences between Natal and Eye Toy (Wiimote thingy) but if the two are different forms of input then this could legitimately be the first time both platform holders would compete against Nintendo’s little white console directlty.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
