I hate to go VERY off topic, but Natal is stolen from Ninty and Sony as much as the wand is a rip off of the wiimote.

Sony had eyetoy and PSeye, Ninty researched the 3d motion tracking that natal will have, but abandoned it in favour of the wiimote for several reasons

But yes, I am quite excited by natal, although at E3 I was always more excited by the idea that Milo might eventually be turned into a product

Those reactions were outdated one day after the announcement of Natal...Why bring it back up?

Oh yeah, I was meant to go further with my post before clicking the button to post it. I mean, obviously Sony and Ninty were developing camera based ways to interact with games before MS was, just as Ninty was experimenting with gyroscopes and accelerometers before Sony did for the wand. But what I meant to add, and forgot, was that Nintendo was not the first to do any of these. Ninty took a good idea with motion control, made some incremental improvements and then managed to bring the software and advertising to make it big. If MS brings enough software to Natal (they're already doing well advertising it) then it won't matter that Ninty and Sony were there before them, because MS will have popularised it, and that's really all that matters.

 

iHugi - Milo may end up being a game, it may not. Here's hoping :)
