Reading the article I noticed this tid bit

Hide behind cabinets to take cover in Halo: ODST! Hold the air to Tango with a virtual dance partner halfway across the world! Lets just put it this way: I want this. And if you thought the Wii did a good job of getting casual gamers out of the woodwork, this thing is going to blow it away.

Hiding behind cabnets?  Really?  This isn't the original Red Steel commercial :P you need to see the screen at least to play and the camera has to be able to see you lol. 

Man tangoing to a camera with no partner seems worse then being a dude having your girl drag you to dance lessons to learn to tango at least there you're with a girl, with Natal you'd be a guy by himself dancing with air.

And as for the getting casuals out of the woodwork I think it might get a few of the Wii casuals but not bring more out of the woodwork as he's claiming, the day after Nintendo's E3 2006 conference lots of morning news (mainstream news) stations went crazy over the Wii and didn't shut up until it released and then when Wii Fit was announced they didn't shut up about it until THAT released, with Natal it's been silent other then the private demos Microsoft have done and the one spot they put on a morning news station.
