If it does come out. I bet you won't be able talk to your console or have it scan you skateboard or anything like that.

Which is perfect for MS. That's when this camera SHOULD be released. It should be packed into the next Microsoft console. That is how it can disrupt the market. It cannot do it by being attached to the 360.
Yes, where is the Microsoft Surface?

“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.

Those two things are quite simple really. And have nothing to do with what the real technology behind the camera is about. Even the PS Eye could do those things.

Maelstrom jumped the shark a long time ago.

I don't remember the PS Eye allowing you to control the PlayStation with voice commands or scan random non-bar-coded possessions in a 'Aliens' type fashion.

The Live Vision Camera was a reaction to the PSEye. Natal is clearly about bringing the sharks into Nintendo's blue ocean. Nobody gives a shit about challenging the PSEye anymore. Sony doesn't even give a shit about it anymore, so why should anyone else?

I am not saying that it currently does, just saying that the only hardware to perform those actions is a camera and a mic. Which the PS Eye has. It would just take someone writing software for it.

You could say the same about Artificial Intelligence.
