The only thing that will separate these two is the software on them. Who can out casual the other?

Are you speaking from a hardware price perspective or from the ability of the devices?

hardware perpective he is right. since natal will use 1.3mpx sensor.

ability well, depends if sony also delivers face recogntion and the promised voice recognition.

Hardware, you are probably right, only add an IR sensor to the cost, probably not much.

Ability, well lets hear from the Sony engineer himself.  Listen closely at about 1:40.

"We could do motion capture with color, but, you can only do so well."

EyeToy does motion capture with color.  Natal does motion capture with IR.  Ability is not there, and Sony says so.
