Microsoft is launching a new Xbox360 with Natal bundeled in the package, this is a very good move to drive some sales, but so far there is no software lineup that will justify Natal entirely. Even though developers are planning to include Natal on their games. I see the camera as a complement to the gameplay, like using your gestures to command a squad while you use the controler to control your character, but this subutilizes the peripheral and will not be worth the full price of the camera. Microsoft is overhyping Natal in order to get huge sales, it depends of the lineup how much legs it will have.
Sony wand is a good concept, but one mistake was the launch of tehr esedigned system without the wand, so part of the momentum is lost. The other obstacle they need to adress is to justify having that want with a sphere in the living room that is far less attcartive to a consumer than a remote.
