Is NATAL really any different than play station eye ?

Yes, I see where the argument comes from. However, natal (supposedly) recognizes voice commands (like the smoke-and-mirrors Milo presentation promises). If Natal lives up to what's been promised, then it's an EyeToy 2.0, and if it doesn't then it's no better than what has already been implemented for years.

play station camera has a microphone on it i don 't hink it is difficult sony to make a game with voice recognition 

 

Hm, you're right. I totally forgot it had a mic. Software is the issue then. It'd be interesting to see what they could come out with to utilize voice commands.

that is the part you may have wrong : it is perhaps very difficult

also, the Wand is late compared to Natal :

1/ they dont have a definitive name (what a marketing error compared to Natal ...)

2/ Ubisoft has 10 Natal game vs 5 wand game because they received the developpement kit ... after receiving the ones for Natal ...

@ this: Natal is probably much harder to develop for as well, which may be why MS released dev kits so soon. I'd imagine GEM is much easier to make a game around.

problem is that for me : GEM = Eye toy + wand

in clear, they have done Eye toy 2.0 by adding the Wand to it and so ameliorating the tracking

but considering Natal is "new" we can imagine making a game for it will be longer
