I think Natal is gonna have it's own set of party games and nothing else.
Even if it is gonna be incorperated in "hard-core" games, I'd still pass.
I don't wanna be waving my arms around while playing a game for same reason I don't want to wave them around while watching a movie.

I hate to bash an innovative idea ( ok I dont, I thoroughly enjoy it), but it does feel like MS have gone 'hey the wii is doing well, can we turn the 360 into one and get some of their market?', not realising that the wii sells to a certain audience and the 360 to another, and the venn diagram of those two markets is similar to those who order a XL deep pan meat feast in Pizza Hut and ask for a bowl for the salad cart.
Of course if it works brilliantly, and isn't too expensive, it could work and be successful, but I just think, you're doing fine MS, why gamble on trying to take Nintendo's share? Why not try to make more stuff targeted to people that buy XBOX stuff?
Not saying innovation is bad, more that doing what someone else has already done and captured the market in, when you don't fit that market, maybe isn't a great idea, but then hey MS are not exactly near bankruptcy.
EDIT: Now I want to call Pizza Hut...

I probably won't. The idea of having technology of this level of advancement in my home is appealing, but I can't really see much of a practical use for it, especially games like RPG's and shooters, because there's no physical controller to assist with things like moving. I really could be wrong in assuming this here, but, until it presents a way to do 360 degree look around or move while not having to sprint in place, natal technology just isn't that grand for the core user base.
I will purchase it on two conditions:
Firstly: It works at least as good as was shown at E3.
Secondly: As long as the price is not overkill. Anything less than £100 I will buy.
£150 and below I will consider it, after all, I did buy Rock band for that much.
Anything over £150...no chance.

I would have to play a live demo first to comfirm my suspicions of Natal instead of the risk of Microsoft tricking me into feeding them my money for a wanabee Eyetoy.

It's funny, the more I hear about the descriptions of Natal, I think of the Wii.Casual Shinji said:
You are bashing people who are pessimistic/wary of thing seemingly to good to be true. That said if the price is right, it works like it's supposed to and it ia properly supported I'd definataly pick it up.Psychosocial said:
the thing about their "innovation" is it's the m$ version of "innovation", which means they took an idea from someone else and made a possibly better but probly not version of it, the product in question is the playstation eyeSenseOfTumour said:
i have noticed everyone has totally missed that the playstation has had a similar product out on the market for several years now and everyone is all up about how great and new this natal is. really it's just a copy of the playstation eye
so we could easily do comparisons on how well something that is very similar to natal actually performs. it's a great gimmick but i don't think it will do that well once it hits the market and reviewers
Well I have a PS3 so.... and even if a didn't, it looks like it will be horribly limited by arbitrary constrictions.
Based on some of the mini-games I have seen of it in action it looks interesting. I won't get it unless it gets from real support, but that won't stop somebody else in my family from getting it, which will probably happen.
I play video games to unwind. Not to stand in front of my TV, which is physicly impossible as the space in front of it has all kinds of stuff in front of it, which I'm too lazy to move anyway.
It'll be "fun for the whole family", but not fun for us regular gamers, who like to mash buttons rather then flail arms.
