Looks cool, but I'd be surprised if it works even half as good as they showed. Even if the hardware works perfectly (which I highly doubt), developers will have to be willing to spend a lot of time making it work correctly with each game and still have to develop for a controller as well (not everyone will have this).

Kinda surprised they didn't wait and add this with the next gen Xbox. Should be interesting...

Yea no kidding. Imagine the costs this is going to add to Deving. This is like a mix of eyetoy and wii. I bet the games compatable with the new tech will be much more expensive, but maybe they can recoup that with just the cost of the hardware. Either way, it does look pretty awesome.

Well the Wii doesn't really have the longevity of play the X360 or the PS3 has. Sure it's fun to break out once in awhile and dick around with... but for the most part it lacks in a broad spectrum of gaming.

Natal is awesome. If they do it right and NOT cut corners like they did building the 360 (ie 3RR), it's gonna really put Sony and Nintendo behind again.
