What's with all the bashing of this product? It's definitely got some push behind it. Even if it doesn't "set the world on fire" (to some people at least), how about we give it a shot before stamping the word "flop" on it.

I, for one, would love to see this concept take off, even if it doesn't become the next Wii-like phenomenon.

It's because Sony didn't come up with it and have a rival coming out to Natal.

It's also because Nintendo has something in a similar vein that no-one else can have anything similar. Even though the wiimote wasn't the first out there.

 

It's the insecure rival owners hating it that would be loving it if it was on their machine.

No, since it wouldn't be the same if Nintendo was trying to implement it, the problem with incumbents trying to put out an innovation is they try and rework it until its most profitable to their already existing core customer, and the thing is, even MS admits that its going to try and use NATAL to target the core, this is the problem with NATAL

So you work at MS where you know that the games being released are only targeted to the core. That explains all those ads where it shows families using Natal..no wait it doesnt. Unless you have a link where MS admits that you are flamebaiting

 

Wrong, MS themselves have already said that they intend to target the Core first with NATAL

“Let’s start with the core users to really get their attention and get them invested and committed to us as a platform."
