Still dont get why they did not save it for the next xbox.

Unless its to risky and they are willing to fail on 360 and star fresh on the next xbox, while not willing to take the risk of spending billions on launching new xbox and risking it all on "natal" controls.

Smart of them.

You ride the hot hand, and the hot hand is motion controls. That and they are not yet ready for the next generation, nor are the developers. We got years to go before we see new consoles.

Iam a bit tired and sleepy and not sure what you mean.

But 3rd parties have shown on through the wii they will never be ready for motion controls.  Personally i dont see franchises like Halo Modern Warfare GTA or Gran Turismo working with motion controls. 

It is in my belief both sony and microsoft believe the success of nintendo is the 'innovative' motion controls, thus natal and sonys motion controls were born. They are just trying to capitalize and capture some of nintendos thunder with these new perphirals. I agree with you that franchises such as halo or modern warfare, etc, working that well with these motion controls.
