Usability-wise moving your forearm from your hip over no more than say 60 degrees per axis is much less tiring than having to move your hands all over a huge virtual vertical plane. But of course only time will tell, though I'd have thought that a shooter or RTS would have appeared among Natal tech demos if pointing implementations were trivial. |
Keep in mind that Natal is measuring your hand position. Moving a tiny amount with your mouse is much, much different than moving your hand a tiny amount in free space.
And there aren't tech demos of shooter(other than that Half-Life video) or RTS games as Natal is not aimed at that audience. 95% of games launched at release will be casual/party games.
