Holding the patent of natal camera will be a true advantage for MS in the next generation(2013). Natal will struggle as a 360 add-on, but will pave the way for the a great next generation since most likely the camera will be compatible onwards.

The Ps3 wand tech demo showed at E3 seemed better, more fun and versatile than Natal atm. The preciseness and responsiveness were unprecedented.
But even I a ps3 fan know Natal technology is superior, not really amazed by any actual game, demos showed, since all were awful. But the simple potential it has and accessibility it offer makes for a bright future.

The ps3 still WAY WAY better than 360, and will continues better than 360 natal.

But when ps4 Vs 720 wars starts natal technology will really shine, especially the hybrid control (camera+ controller) some games will start doing after failed attempts on only motion free-hand gameplay.

Yes, I have to some extend. For example I thought Sony execs didn't clarify enough or accurately tell what they were showing exactly with the early target game trailers. But IMO by far nothing as severe as the fake Milo presentation, if someone at Sony would have picked a controller and pretended to be playing the CGI target videos, then that would have been on a similar level. Understand?

With the antitrust case proceedings under former president Bill Clinton for instance it looked afterwards like Microsoft got a get out of jail for free card under fromer President Bush. Of course Microsoft heavily funded Bush' campaign, which in most democratic countries would be illegal.

It's not just that Microsoft is a US company, the bulk of companies which testified against Microsoft's monopoly abuse were American. But I think if most of them were European there wouldn't even have been investigations in the United States in the first place.

Ah, MikeB..I forgot to add you to my list, you are my all time favourite poster, I can ALWAYS look at you when I want an unbiased answer to a question, or an unbiased review.

On a side note, how can you say MILO was fake, did you honestly think it was true AI? We are decades if not millennia away from that. Milo was very real, and does what it is supposed to, it does it so well that it fools people into believing Milo is real AI...I laugh at your silly attempts to discredit this, they are nothing more than a smokescreen for your obvious bias.

That video makes it look just like the Eyetoy.

I hope I'm wrong, but I predict a massive failure for Natal.

Why not? Microsoft has a lot of money. In the pre-70s or even later when you would watch movies imagining the year 2000 some thought we would be flying in our own spacecrafts. Reality however is that we still live in a time when we command Windows to do something our mouse pointer often freezes and we can't do anything else, unlike was the case in the 80s when certain operating systems always provided immediate user feedback when clicking buttons and such.

IMO what was shown with the Milo presentation was by no means beyond imagination and with a dedicated talented team can be made reality.

The video shown by Peter Molyneux of the Milo demo was presented to indicate that the Natal project was capable of advanced AI and voice recognition, but:

"Spike's VP of Content  and editor-in-chief of Gamestrailers, Shane Satterfield, indicated recently along with his peers that there was a bit of deception with Milo behind the scenes after demoing it. He stated that the select few to demo Milo live behind closed doors were instructed by Microsoft to follow exactly what was shown in the video. Satterfield also stated that there definitely is someone “controlling” (influencing) Milo behind the scenes."

"Satterfield also revealed that the assumed voice recognition shown in the demonstration video for Milo was a little misleading. He indicates that Peter Molyneux told him that Milo does not actually recognize the player’s voice but reacts to the tone of your voice. He also further explains that Milo says rudimentary open ended statements that will fit into whatever you say."

Other comments from journalists say it was all acted. I rather watch the good old ET movie, it includes much better acting performances. Understand?

Ah, the common misconception. The eyetoy never had a dedicated processor, nor did it have facial/voice recognition software, and lastly, it was not able to track in 3D (which incidentally improves accuracy)

well the eye toy was an improved clone of the dream eye for the dreamcast and the gameboy camera for the gameboy, that's just how it goes

Doesn't matter, them talking down GT will definitely get to some (if not many) nerves (like I said, I'm ok with this, it's business, but not many people can see it that way). So yes, they are being far too cocky, the results will only show when GT5 releases. It has EVERYTHING to do with Turn 10's statements, not just about Forza 3 itself.

The same could be said about 360 fan(boy)s who are too sensitive about Halo.
