Yes, but Microsoft's isn't 1:1 and has a vague 2010 release date. And I've seen reports of a $200 price tag; is that right?

It certainly does 1:1 and even at $200 compare that to a complete Wii Controller setup.

WiiMote $40
Nunchuck $20
WiiMotion+ $20

2 of those setups sets you back $160. You only need 1 Natal for everyone. Not to much difference.

As for the Sony. I didnt see the demo. I did read one thing that said no way to control player movement. No nunchuk like device. So how do you control the player? Is it all on rails?

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

The sony demo was a gimped wiimote with WM+

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

in a word, yes.

both look kind of silly but since sony's seems more of a direct rip-off of the wiimote with motion+ there is a better chance of support (imo) just from the porting wii games to the ps3. who knows, might increase the number of "mature" games on the wii if there is a second console to put games like madworld on.

..both are doomed to fail though imo.

Now the question is when do we see Natal and this Sony thing? 2-3 years?

By then Nintendo will have an even better thing to show us.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)
