But SONY will still have GOTY... (Uncharted 2) :P lol, not trying to flame, just wanted to poke fun.

I agree in general with what was said tho I would put Microsoft and Sony more towards an equal stance, a tie so to speak.

Yeah, I read this article earlier. I pretty much agree. Might have bumped Nintendo up a letter, and added a PSP/DS section. Otherwise, yeah, their reasons for MS are dead on.

If you read the articles, you see some very clear bias

Style Savvy
While the GamePro editors are not the target demographic for this virtual boutique managing sim, Style Savvy still seemed like one of several titles Nintendo used to make up for their lack of major announcements this year.

This is why most game people don't understand Nintendo. They don't like that Nintendo does things for other audiences. Also, Nintendo announces two Mario games for Wii, two Mario games for DS, a new Metroid plus more details on DS Zelda (Details are still coming out about Wii Zelda and Monado as well). So I not sure what the lack of major announcements come from. (It also docked Nintendo for plugging minor games but praised Microsoft when it praised its versions of third party multiplaform efforts from FFXIII to RB:Beatles.)

Wii Motion Plus
With Nintendo's competitors, Sony and Microsoft, revealing their answers to the Wii's motion sensing technology, we have to say that the Wii Motion Plus is the weakest of the three. Controller-less gaming and the PS3's motion controller look more promising than the Motion Plus, which is generically described as something that will "make the game feel and play more realistically." We'll only know which motion sensing technology feels the best once we get our hands on them, though.

It loved Wii Sports Resort but hated Wii Motion Plus. Even though WSR is not possible without WM+ and third parties are building games around the system and have talked about how the accurate it is.

I think Forza 3, Bayonetta, NSMBWii, and MW2 might have a bone to pick with you, lol.

I think those things might meet with opinions of most of the casual press, and the very least. This is far from proving bias.

you forgot splinter cell zen. lol. that looks amazing and so does bayonetta. i was watching it at G4TV and gameplay looks amazing. i hope it delivers unlike devil may cry 4. too repeptitive.

splinter cell series sell alot. i'll give this one a try.

Pardon me, but with a little bit of intuitive development what genres cannot be done on the Microsoft motion system?  Bear in mind that the system can track individual fingers, and combine motion sensing with audio sensing and standard controller inputs.

There is no getting around it, Nintendo got to motion control first.  But I think it is abundantly clear that much more can be done with Microsoft's system game-wise.  Whether that will actually happen on the other hand...

How would you shoot, aim, walk/run, hide, reload, etc in an FPS with no actual joystick and a couple of buttons?

I would be glad to be wrong, but it isn't feasible to physically walk/run around your house, jump up and down, etc.

Also not feasible to constantly be saying these commands for voice to work as many times there is a lot of other stuff happening in your house that would conflict.

To me the burden of proof is on those saying it can do it when even MS's demo didnt' show this. I know the greater majority of IPs would not work, but let's just start with this really big one, FPS or shooter in general.

Ok, I am DESPERATE for people to give me practical applications of Natal.  Without any other accessories.  After all, it's controls without the controller, right?  So please enlighten me about what kind of games will use Natal.  How will the games control?  Will the controls work BETTER than a gamepad?

EDIT:  And the instant you add an accessory, it becomes nothing more than the PS Eye demo.
