I honestly think Sony's Wand is a bigger threat to Nintendo than Natal

Has anyone else noticed how (pretty much) every major publisher has tried to clone a Guitar Hero/Rockband, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Brain Training, Nintendogs, or any other unconventional game and rarely ever are as successful as the original?  ....

 Rockband came after and because of GH success. Thus if all Sony and Mircosoft simply trying to copy the Wii then it will not be a huge success but if like Rockband they add on to what already been proven to be successful  then both has a possiblity of being a huge success. So far it's seems both of them are attempting to go step farther than the wii-mote.

  Difference though is Rock band may have had similar roots to GH, but it made what was previously a solo experience into a group/social experience, NATAL and the Sony wand haven't shown anything that creates an experience that people want that the Wii isn't giving

Like I wrote  Rockband took GH success and added to the experience.

  And NATAL and the wand don't, the jump from GH to RB was about making solo to social, NATAL and the Wand don't do anything like that, Wii is extremely social already

IIRC GH was two player before RB. Tell me why Natal and wand can't be social especially the wand since this is the whole reason for the PS eye to track colors instead of IR light? Again I can see a Natal dancing game that could be  very social. As afr how much Sony or Mircosoft will actually push these we have to wait and see.

GH two player was competitive, not cooperative, RB was cooperative

They may be social, but how is that anything over the Wii?  The Wii has social already, just a graphical improvement and better motion tracking won't sell to people, most won't know and won't care, they have to give an experience not found on the Wii that people want, so far I see nothing that indicates they have that
