Actually Nintendo has been experimenting with cameras for a while now. Long before Natal.
It probably is the next logical extension of motion sensing wands to be able to approximate full body movement and facial gestures.
Miyamoto said camera-only is bad, but I remember he then added that a camera AND a wand like controller would be interesting.
Beyond that though, I think we probably have to be somewhat realistic ... there probably is a point where Nintendo R&D can only come up with so many ideas, and there's nothing wrong with a NES-to-SNES type transition, which Mr. Miyamoto has also stated would be likely. You don't have to reinvent the wheel every time.
