The developers are probably excited about the tech because it has a lot of promise... not because of money-hatting, although I'm not sure how much it will help the 360 in Japan... time will tell.
A lot of people don't really seem to understand what a tech like Natal is capable of, or how non-hardcore gamers might glom onto it. This reminds me of when the Wii was getting ready to launch... a lot of people didn't think anyone would go for a "gimmicky" controller like the WiiMote. Guess a lot of people were wrong.
