Dude, do you seriously think that MS will releas NATAL if it is not precise? It's very precise, the software is just buggy, and that is still under development. NATAL has been shown to recognise slight facial emotional cues and use that ingame. I am pretty sure Wiimote and Eyetoy can't do anything nearly that advanced. I think you will be pleasently suprised once NATAL comes out in stores...that is, if you are not a blind fanboy.

I'm curious about this. Link?

Btw, you're pitting project Natal (made of cameras, microphone and software mostly currently running on a PC) against hmm, a Wiimote and a camera? Doesn't make much sense. Now you could say that you think that Sony hasn't any facial recognition software as advanced as Natal's to compliment their EyeToy camera, but how is that anything but pure speculation? Face/voice recognition and biometrics is basically a subject (with known academic foundations) any developer can work on, and also something that really feels tacked-on -though with great PR effect- to the main meat of the project, ie the motion recognition.

Does Milo ring a bell. Members of the press were able to interact with "him" at E3, and many came away with smiling faces...as well as some without. Anywho, Milo is real, lionhead said they were planning on realising the game when NATAL came out. Now, The way Peter Molnow (or however you spell his last name) put it was that Milo read your tone of voice, and facial cues to be able to detect when you were telling a joke. that is some pretty seriouse software my friend, also, the VR software is derived from the windows 7 VR software, which is very accurate. Show me that the eyetoy has either.
