This question came to me as I was thinking about the capcom natal game thread.
When announced at e3 last year, Nintendo spoke of a camera based input such as Natal in a *possibly* cryptic way.
They said "people want to hold something"...
One person in the other thread mentioned they wondered if they could hold a knife to control a game. Honestly, it's likely that people will start using home objects during games.
Now, during the wii's tenure as highest selling platform, there have been numerous reports and anecdotal evidence/videos of people accidentally punching nearby people, throwing their wiimotes at the tv screen, and the like.
Imagine the amount of movement involved in the wii, and double it. What I mean is that there is currently no understanding of how people will control movement in a Natal game. Do you walk in place? Lean? There is obviously more movement involved.
What do you think? Is there a chance that people can be injured while playing Natal? Additionally, what do you think Nintendo knows about it? Afterall, they did work on a camera before finalizing the wiimote concept. Do people have a tendency to pickup potentially dangerous items or hurt themselves/others if there is this much movement/less restricted movement involved?
This is not a troll thread, it is an honest question that makes me a little nervous.
