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

So you were sitting in on their marketing meeting when they decided to allow thier closest competitor to get a ton of free coverage with no response?  OR are you basing this on your view of how altruistic a company that Sony is?  I'd really like to know.

Please stop projecting your loyalty onto others: I never insinuated I expected anything from Natal.  I have no idea what to expect from Natal, but I wont try to mitigate it (or the wands) ability to expand the market, before they have even launched, over some misplaced loyalty issues.
