keep making posts like this and I'm willing to bet your stay will be both short and unpleasent

OT: A veeeeery strong lists of developers working on the project. Does anyone else wonder if Blizzard is making something for NATAL? After all we already know they are aiding MS in designing the nextbox. It would be incredible to see something on consoles from them before this gen is over though.

I'm extremely excited to hear Inafune, and Kojima's thoughts on Natal, and how they'll plan to ulitlize it for the future of their games.

well obviously its the activision side, i never said that blizzard was working on it. I'm just saying does anyone wonder or imagine what blizzard could do with the technology.

I was doing the same...But I don't want to hype myself with Blizzard possibilities

lol yeah my bad. A blizzard MMO would be incredible with NATAL though. Also I find it really interesting what Square Enix and Bethesda are doing with it. After all both these guys are RPG giants and I wonder how their planning on implementing NATAL into the genre.

You know, you're right. How could I possible think that those producers are getting paid to promote MS products. Surely it is an act of goodwill! I bet Kojima plays 360 all the time, and is so enamoured with the product, he felt it was his duty as a gamer and as a developer to give his time to let the world know what a great product MS is developing.

Don't get me wrong here, I genuinely hope Natal is all it is cracked up to be. I just laugh at how people take marketing and turn it into gospel.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I have been reading all of the fanboy wars for some time on this and every other gaming site. I am convinced that Microsoft employed the largest viral marketing campaign in the history of the world to promote the 360. I bet there are numerous MS employees posting on this very site, trying to sway public opinion towards their product.

Not saying 360, or Natal, or MS or any of it sucks or anything. I think it is a good gaming machine. In fact, I think all of them are. I just find Microsofts marketing strategy facinating. I don't believe the fierce brand loyalty of this generation is a coincidence. Not that people didn't always favor the console they owned throughout all of the generations of gaming. But the HD generation and all the system bashing and flame wars that have come with it are something special.

Anyway, sounds crazy I know. But given modern marketing and the financial power of MS, you cannot deny the possibilities. What better way to get people to buy your system than to convince them to hate the other?

Because Sony doesn't work like that?

I hope this is released for the holidays next year because coming All I Want For Xmas Is A Natal.com

I wonder when will people learn the difference between a camera that tracks motions and an actual motion controller.
