@ OP
You know what? Normally I would defend Nintendo, but knowing what they are capable of, one should expect near perfection from them right. Yes, but look at it this way. Nintendo has expanded the casual audience immensely and has also increased the number of 'hardcore' compared to the Gamecube era. (I don't know a synonym for hardcore sorry.) Nintendo didn't make too much money from the Gamecube, yet they were still brave enough to give us this radically different console in the form of Wii. You can't get it perfect on your first try that is why the Wii is not perfect. But, now that Nintendo has motion controls down, they can perfect it for next gen, and then thrash the competition all they like.
I believe Natal will fain. M$ already said your gonna have to 'pay up' if you want it.
I believe Sony Motion Wiimote Whatchamacallit will fail. It's too far into this generation, not too many will be interested.
NINTENDO
nintendo forever . . .
