The most telling part of that article......

"We must point out that neither Project Natal nor the PlayStation Motion Controller are finished products, so there's no telling how they might be

implemented in future games. For example, there's no reason that Natal couldn't make use of both motion sensing and traditional control, similar

to Sony's device. Furthermore, we'd say Sony is probably just as keen to capture some of the casual market as Microsoft."

But didn't Microsoft say that their product was superior specificly because it had no controller? Wouldn't putting in a traditional controler not only make them contradict that argument, but severely lessen the difference they want with their competitors?

That's just marketing talk. Natal Guy Whose Name I Forget said that they'd use the controller for core games. Bungie and Epic are supposed to be working on Natal, and I really can't imagine them making controller-free games.

Plus Microsoft would be incredibly remiss not to make their own Wiimote ripoffs to go with it, if for no other reason than to keep from missing out on any multiplatform motion control games.

The reason I agree with this is that the Sonymote looked a little more responsive then Natal. I attribute that to the light thingy.

Is it just me that gets the feeling, Sony are only doing this as to appear as if they're still "withit"

There seems to be no passion behind this, it just seems like another accessory for Sony.

I wish I had one Rupee for every time someone in the gaming press mentioned "hardcore"

Frankly, I'm getting a bit annoyed with it.

Someone should correct me if i'm wrong but hasn't the core audience stated over and over again over the past couple of year that they have ZERO interest in motion control in their core games - Dual Analogue is the epitome of game controlling and more precise than god?... etc...

Umm... What? So, M$ is after the casual market Wii has, and Sonys controller, that is similar to Nintendos, is better suited for core games.

Good. Finally some analysist who actually said that Wii Remote is suitable for core games. The guy just had to go indirect route, but still.

If Natal ever comes out, M$ will have a lot work to do to get the current console owners satisfied with it, if it's anything like what was seen.

Meh. I just wish they'd start calling games "mainstream" and "fringe" instead of 'core and casual.

What about the hardcore casual gamers?

Just makes no sense.

Maybe I should go take my medication...brb

Nepalese, obviously. They're cooler, and they have better Yaks.

Analyst ?

Is that the same analyst that predicted a couple of years ago that Wii was fucked and PS3 was about to rule the market ??

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
