Yeah, thats what fanboys are saying, but it's not true. NATAL is the Eyetoy ON CRACK!!! How well does you 5 year old phone recognise your voice? And since when did the eyetoy track full body motion in 3D? Sorry old chap, you are going to have to try a differant argument.

Look, I'm not going to discuss point by point... you can call it an evolution, whatever! Realkisticaly, in terms of use, the only thing Natal does that Eyetoy can't is to identify different people. Everything else is software (voice recognition, facial recognition, material, so on). But if you want to think it's a complete revolution and you're happy with it, it's fine ;)

XD you were the one that brought up your cell phone, heck, most cellphones still have buggy VR software, so quite frankly, that doesn't apply here. Also, The eyetoy doesn't have a second camera and therefore, could not "see" in 3D no matter how good the software is. I never said it was a complete revolution. Its quite obviouse that I am saying it is an improvement from my "NATAL is the Eyetoy ON CRACK!!!" statement. See, my point is this, NATAL is VERY different both software wise, and hardware wise, from anything else on the VG market today. It is really just sad that you have to justify the falure that is the eyetoy, by saying "well, it COULD do that." Just because it could do things, doesn't mean it will...or does. So let's stick to what they DO do.

Don't you get that the technology is not important? What's important is the use they'll give it. Eyetoy is a faillure not because of the technology, but because of the use they give it. And Natal still as to show to what it was made for (well, unless it is to talk with a kid - sick frightning thing that, of course, won't work as Molineaux said - or to defend balls).

So, what you say about Eyetoy is applied to Natal. It doesn't matter what it can do. I don't want Natal to navigate over the menus. Hell, my problem with Natal is that I don't know why I want it for. Nothing they showed is slightly interesting to me.
