oh we all know what happens when you rush a product, GT5 may be taking forever, but it will be nothing short of a masterpiece when it finally arrives, you only have to look at Forza 3 for an example of how nothing good comes from rushing products, this includes games and it especially includes hardware. Finally the engine they have developed for GT5 will be reused, we all remember that right, the next GT on PS will take alot less time to develop. |

Take your pick but the overall status of universally acclaimed is pretty clear the game is anything but "nothing good", it would seem you know very little about Forza 3 other than what you read from GT fanboys. Natal isn't being rushed in the slightest, its just they haven't needed to show their big guns unlike Sony who had to release some Move news after the cringe worthy unveiling last year at E3 which was obvious to everyone they were lying about how far in dvelopment it was (Spring 2010, I think not). Natal is cruising in low gear with the hype and interest they generated, even after GDC the hype level for MOve outside of gaming internet forums is at absolute zero.
Finally we have no idea how long this generation is going to last and if they don't get GT5 out this year then you can pretty much say goodbye to GT6 appearing on the PS3. That is of course unless you want GT6 to just be milking sales from the franchise.
@severance - We have no idea what they're researching, it could be more software than hardware in terms of features. It could be integration of Natal processing hardware in the next generation of consoles. It could just in fact be more advanced cameras which given the extra power required to run will need a new console. The point is that Natal this generation could be seen as a introduction to controller free gaming in a similar way Nintendo have used the original Wiimote before motion plus was released.
