Sigh, NATAL topics always bring out those who lack any vision. IF MS DELIVERS on the promise shown at E3, NATAL will be the most significant gaming launch since the 2600.

Delivering includes the following for the conceptually challenged.

Bundled with Valhalla 360 arcades at $199 and available with 1 killer app at no more than $79.99 for existing owners (although $99 would be sweet if it included wireless).
Notice I said killer app, which doesn't necessarily mean game!
NATAL will supplement and compliment the controller, where beneficial, for Core games.
NATAL will introduce new experiences for the casual crowd.

Lay off the crystal meth, please.

Sigh, more folks incapable of reading comprehension and/or vision.  Care to name anything more significant?

d-pad - the NES controller was terrible interface device, an evolved 2600 stick would have been far superior

Optical media - graphics were upgraded but gameplay not so much

3D chips - see above

Live - significant shift for the console space but nothing new to computer gamers

Wii - broadened the audience but otherwise continued nintendo's decades long tradition of ignoring/crapping on core game genres

NATAL is more akin to all of those happening simultaneously
