If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

It's good that Microsoft is clearing this misconception up, but I do find myself wondering about the viewing angle of the Natal camera now. How close can you get before it can't see your feet? Obviously that depends on the camera's height.

I wonder if it will have some kind of fisheye lens with correction or wide angle or whatever the film guys call it.

I too am wondering about the FOV of Natal.  The wider it is, the less per pixel accuracy you will get.  Will the RGB lens be the same as the depth sensor lens?  I really doubt Natal can change lenses depending on the environment.  The MS comment is very vague, so we probably will not find any concrete answers until E3.

I thought I remembered hearing that it had two lenses or something like that... like one is a regular camera and the other is a radar type. I dunno. I'm excited to hear more though.

Can Natal cause cancer?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Now this is just silly.

Carcinogens have been packed in with the 360 console since day one. The average consumer can't even tell the difference between the 360's carcinogens and the PS3's carcinogens. There's no need for Microsoft to add more cancer to Natal.
