The way I see it, Natal's advantage is purely software based, its highly likely that as soon as Natal is released, Sony will be able to emulate alot of the tech employed by it, add in the PS3's up and coming 3D capabilities, we could get some really interesting games.
To say that Natal has any hardware advantage would be naive, looking at the Natal camera, there seems to be little or no difference between it and the PSeye, Sony have already said that they are capable of emulating this kind of thing though to a slightly lesser degree. http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/06/07/ps3s-playstation-eye-vs-xbox-360s-natal/
Its all going to be about precisuion vs depth of field, my criticism would be, how many people have enough space to make use of field depth?

Microsoft is a software company, so it's no wonder that Sony this generation has been forced to respond defensively and emulate everything Microsoft has done. The time that is lost from developing features that your competitor already has puts you behind the curve, and once again MS has taken initiative with the press, dev kits, and release date. Always responding to your competitor is a bad position to be in (i.e., PSN, Zune, WinMo). It doesn't really matter if it is different than their competitor as long as the perception is there.
If Natal enables gesture recognition and turns screens into multitouch surfaces, that's actually pretty useful as I am currently using a multitouch laptop. Now that I am thinking about it, I'm inclined to believe this is probably a method for MS to have the public get acquainted with utilizing next gen input recognition that most devices are moving towards anyways (iphones, MS surface/multitouch panels/tablets).

Or you could say that Sony is letting MS test the water before it commits itself to anything big and new, imagine if Sony had followed MS and brough out their console early, they could have had a whole host of RRoD type problems to work out and it could have ended the Playstation wing of Sony FOREVER!
There is sense in pragmatism!

That's retarded... Sony letting Microsoft test the water? It's not as if Microsoft is standing still or sitting on it laurals while sony keeps emulating all of their features

That sequence of words made no sense to me what so ever, please try and explain whatever it is you are trying to explain in words I can understand this time.

Your comment was retarded... the idea of testing the water because if you wait for someone else to "test the water" you have to play catch up when you find out that the waters are pretty good... Sony isn't going to let Microsoft "test the water" any more you can be sure of that... as for the PS3 coming out early... a simple switch to DVD would have had it coming out on time.

Playing catch up is not a problem if you can release a better product than the competition, without Blu-ray, would Sony eve be in this race? I think not, just look at those new piracy figures, piracy would kill the PS3 and it is Blu-ray that prevents that due to lack of blu-ray burners.
The Ideology driving the Japanese economy comes from a man called Demming, he believed that if you can build a higher quality product, the product will always achieve providing it remains competitive price wise, that is what Sony have set out to do with the PS3, I do not believe we have seen its true potential in terms of hardware or online, I can see Micorsoft beggining to fall behind in terms of hardware, so that is why pragmatism pays off! You will also notice that despite MS early lead, Sony is clawing back the difference with undue haste.
