Well maybe if the article was written better they could have made a good attempt to suggest how Natal could be a threat. Unfortunately, there is no data, no extensive opinions, no nothing to really even make a point. I mean he should have save him some typing and just kept the title as the rest doesn't say anything to further it.
But all in all, could it pose a thread. Of course. Every move all the big 3 make potentially poses a threat to the others. I'm sure Nintendo even understands it as a threat. I'm sure Sony understands it as a threat. However, it is up to MS to make it a threat. So far, I've seen them do very little to really pose it as a threat. When Nintendo announced the wiimote back in late 2005, they continuously kept it on the front pages by making it their main focus. They backed it completely. To MS, it's just a whim they had at the dark corners of the Xbox division and decided to toss it on out there. They don't approach it as the wave of the future so how are we supposed to acknowledge it as such.
I think NATAL can be a huge threat to Nintendo, if and only if, MS fully backs this. They really might have something here. They just have to hope the competition doesn't out do them.
