Iwata already looked at the technology before Microsoft did and they did not like the technology

yeah so did sony.

microsoft it's going to market it like it's accurate though, when it isn't.

Nope they didn't. It was 3DV. Natal is primesense. The reason why Microsoft bought 3DV is so that they control all potentially similar camera technology so it would be difficult for anyone to come along and copy them.

 

Iwata has stated that when prototyping the Wii, they considered camera based motion sensing (including 3d cameras) but decided against it. This is not something you can debate - Iwata said it. You can call him a liar if you so desire.

 

Here's a link, unfortunately no direct quotes. I'd look in more detail, but I'm off to grab some food
