A clerk at Gamestop? <sigh>
I've been looking for some tasty Natal rumors and so far they've all been lackluster. It makes me wonder how good Microsoft's E3 showing will actually be. Microsoft hasn't always been that great at keeping secrets.
I even have a hard time believing it will be called the Wave. The Wave? The name doesn't prompt any excitement. The action itself is inviting, but is short and too specific. Whereas "Move" can convey all sorts of action and "Wii" prompts imagination, "Wave" would just sound dull in comparison. I think naming it Wave would be a marking fail. Not that Microsoft isn't capable of it.
That said, I have a friend who works at EA. He was able to play around a little with a coworker's dev unit. He's excited about it and sees a lot of potential, but he's skeptical of the amount of games that will be ready for release in October. Let alone in June. I'm really excited about the technology, but I'm starting to worry that it's just not going to be game ready. I don't think Natal will have a successful launch with only a couple of games... the 13th just can't come soon enough.
