“Natal is challenging because it’s so different,” says Molyneux

That just shows the confidense between the two companies on their tech.  Someone convinced MS exec that Natal is the future while with Sony they considered it as a gadget.

How can you say either one is correct at this point? 

I don't, I just make a statement that one company is confident that their tech is the future while the other did not.  I have no clue if Natal will be the future.  I have no clue if Sony made the right choice to go the move route.  What I do know is that both companies have gone in totally different direction and one may be proven correct.

Sony played it safe and that might be the winning formula because there is already history.  MS can carve out their own territory like the Wii did if they can capture the buying public. 

I can tell you what MS probably did take away from Nintendo this generation is that you either go hard or go home.  Believe in what you are doing and work your but off to make it a success.  Either go all the way and live and die by your decision of play it safe and hope to bleed some of the success of your competitor.
