6/10 - MS $ + NATAL = does not make it the best conference ever



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

6/10, NATAL is a glorifed eyetoy with only minigame applications, and the games they showed were meh, focused too much on facebook and last.fm

Only because that girl talking about facebook and twitter is "Clueless" and that part of the conference was terrible.

That was Felicia Day and she was awesome as ever!!!

Eh, she stuttered near the end. It sounded like she was trying to be funny but not really going for it. I do like the Guild show though.

Nintendo fanboys really seem pissed with Natal. Is that the waggle comment? :P

Give credit where it's due, that stuff was very impressive.

Natal showed potential and will be exciting to follow, especailly with the Milo project.

And Alan Wake looked perfect.

I would rate that an 8.5.

Leaks spoiled all of the surprises. Good core games. Nothing too shocking.

i would give it a 9. it would have gotten a higher ranking had their been more time devoted to CRACKDOWN.

it would seem to be a great start and i hope the other two are ready to compete.

No one's pissed, its just underwhelming, you could clearly see its not going to work for FPS and action games, it lacks the precision, that girl was flailing around on the stage, its a minigame camera, like eyetoy
