Is NATAL really any different than play station eye ?

Sony has seen the developer commentaries on Natal and the American mass media coverage.

Given that, I find it hard to believe that instead of using the PR/Marketing arm of their company to show everyone how the Playstation Eye does all this already, they rather leave it in the hands of forum goes to spread the word.

The fact that Sony hasn't said anything to combat Natal coverage says tons more than anything that would be mentioned in this thread.

It's not on Sony's habits to enter a media war against competitors. They already tested and used the EyeToy as a motion control peripheral long before Natal came.

They choose to not follow this way. They can be wrong, we'll see.

But if I were you, I would not expect miracles with Natal

From what I've noticed, it seems that the SDF are the people expecting "miracles" with Natal. It's excellent guerilla trolling on their part, talk about all of the cool things Natal WON'T be able to do, thus downplaying the cool things it will be able to do when it does release. It WON'T be a good controller for FPS, so controlling the dashboard like Minority Report isn't very good, etc. It's rather brilliant in a super useless way, but then again fanboys are pretty useless as a whole anyways. Personally I'll be trying out both Natal and "Gem" (woooah, might want to rethink that name) when they release, provided the price is okay.
