Former EyeToy exec warns of the difficulties facing Natal, 'Arc'

In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Jamie MacDonald, former Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios (the company responsible for EyeToy), gave out a few pointers to Sony and Microsoft regarding their respective motion controllers. MacDonald warned that gamers are expecting more from the 360 and PS3's motion gaming than they do from the Wii, due to both consoles' beefier hardware. However, he also warned about implementing "traditional long-form gameplay," lengthy sessions of which would leave players "completely knackered."

MacDonald's wisest words came when speaking about pricing the two pieces of hardware. He suggested they follow Sony's strategy with EyeToy, where the peripheral and a piece of software came bundled for the price of a normal game, which kept consumers from "paying a premium for the hardware." That's a sweet thought, but it's a little presumptive -- after all, we've yet to hear a price for the two devices. (Hell, we haven't even heard a name for one of them.)

He's got some good points.

hmm, in some respects, yes, because the consoles are more powerful, but I think most people accept that unlike Nintendo, Sony and MS are entering the motion war (if you will) late, and so may not expect instant Wii like success

I don't think a lot of people are expecting these new Motion Controls to beat out the Wii, they will enter the market as underdogs. We'll just have to see how things play out.

lol his name is Macdonalds
