Yawn. Of course they're gonna copy Nintendo's hit title. Who didn't expect that? I'm just curious how they plan on winning consumers over for their game, or games. People who got a Wii and Wii Fit are unlikely to get a new console just because it offers a similar product, and I doubt others would fall for it... If they were interested in fitness software, they'd have gotten Wii Fit and/or wii Fit Plus by now.

This will sell diffrently that Wii Fit.

More probable scenario is hardcore gamer buying this for his girlfriend.

Sigh. Not surprising but sad. Copying Nintendo is not the way to go. Besides that, they will be a year late to the party. Wii alreadys got a motion capture camera fitness game in Your Shape. So this isn't going to be something innovative and exciting to anyone.

If Natal is to succeed they need to wow people with some kind of FUN and ACCESSIBLE experience that they have NEVER HAD BEFORE. Leave the exercise programs to Ubisoft and EA, they'll port over Your Shape and Sport Active anyway.

Well this is pretty much the only Natal game which I'm absolutely sure will be good.

So yeah, they had to do it.

Rare sux . . . like Karrine Steffans.

Hey, at this point this news doesn't sound very flattering, but it IS just a rumor and not a very detailed one at that. My hope is that the Natal experience is more game-like than the Wii experience was (WiiFit is really not that much of a 'game'). So if Rare is able to make a true fitness 'game' with Natal, that might not be as bad as you think. It won't be as successful as WiiFit, but it could be better and have more crossover appeal to us as gamers.

If you get that memo could you pass it on to me because nobody told me either. Anyway I can get back all though hours my kids have wasted on Rare games this generation?

Fitness game on the Natal? Duh! it would be criminal not too.
