Unless Natal turns the Xbox 360 into the computer from Minority Report [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwVBzx0LMNQ], I probably wont go anywhere near this.

. Unless you don't have the war to begin with.I love how the console companies are so immature as to make this generation of consoles a big war. They have to WIN the generation of consoles.
And I still don't see how Natal is so cool. I don't even have room in my living room to PLAY Natal.

Actually, no. I don't think Natal itself does that. That's another program on its own, I believe.Greyfox105 said:
This guy is on crack...Seriously, "hundreds of millions of customers"? Someone put a leash on him before he lets out any more ridiculous quotes.
If the Wii has proven ANYTHING it's that motion control is largely just a gimmick that people have grown tired of.
Worst of all, Natal is an add-on peripheral, so it's not like you're buying a revolutionary new system like how the Wii was marketed. Getting this thing into homes is going to be a goddamn nightmare.
The Wii succeeded due to the viral nature of Wii Sports. A gamer bought it, non-gamers played it, decided they had to have it and voila! Another Wii sale. Problem is, most of those Wiis are gathering dust right now, despite the fact that you can still have standard gaming experiences on the Wii without issue. I just played through Overlord: Dark Legacy on the Wii and found it quite enjoyable.
Motion control, thus far, has been little more than a novelty, a gimmick. Natal just serves to make it even more gimmicky and will ultimately fall victim to the same issues the Wii faced and worse.
