Buried in the KI thread, thought it deserved a bigger billing. A quote from Patrick Garratt's (???) blog:

Natal version of Wii Music!

Remember that Rare invented the avatars before Nintendo came out with the Miis, they only released it after the Miis. Maybe this time rare invented the Fitness genre, they just forgot to release it before Wii Fit.

So both Microsoft and Sony are making their own Wii Fit killers. Fantastic, this is going to be very interesting.

There's going to be an awful lot of Post-Natal Depression by the end of this year. XD

I think it's time we invented a new verb. Let's call it the verb "To Nintendo" - meaning to copy, emulate, or steal the ideas, products or practices of Nintendo.

Uses: Microsoft is Nintendoing big time lately
Sony is confident that they can Nintendo quite well
I can't believe these guys hadn't Nintendoed earlier.

In all fair sense MS did try to buy Nintendo but Nitty refused so they have no choice but to Nintendo now.
