Gunn believes: "The ONLY drawback to the Natal some people may have is that you have to get up off your ass to play it," and that he "wouldn't be surprised if in a few years we see a decrease in childhood obesity simply because of the system."
A little optimistic, don't you think? I doubt Natal will be as popular as the Wii and that was the same claim Nintendo made. Standing up and waving your arms around in front of a TV is
not exercise. There is no replacement for actual exercise and the idea that making kids jump around like idiots in front of their TV won't make them any healthier than if they played games standing up.
And the point of gaming, for me anyway, is to sit down and relax. I felt a bit silly when I was playing Heavy Rain and waving my arms around to kick open doors and drink orange juice and I was by myself and doing small motions. Motion controls are not going to take over regular gaming, just look at the EyeToy. And even if it did, it wouldn't make that much of a difference.
