I gotta say... it deserves to be mocked. I'm not hating on Microsoft or anything, in fact, I think most of their ideas considering XBOX Live and what not are business gold... but I dunno, Natal just seems to be pushed by MS fanboys. If it means that there's competition, which makes Nintendo wake up and actually make some damn fine games for Wii, I'll have no problem. Competition is good... but this just seems to be too damn distracting to compete with the Wii and the controllers. Feel free to say different.
@FearfulInsomniac: I say different! You don't have to be a fanboy to be excited about NATAL technology. There are possibilities there for the entire gaming industry that I am astounded others seem to be willfully ignoring.
@Erode: I don't doubt the possibilities of this technology but i have my doubt about the people.
Sure right now is great and awesome but how many people will buy this product for those "possibilities" and not just because is the new fad.How many people will buy those games and play them for more than a couple of minutes and then brushed off to the side.
The idea is great but the people is what I'm afraid of.
@HudoKudo: Yeah. I hadn't actually thought of that, but it is a good point. If you have a skateboard, odds are you know how to use it. And what skater is going to sit at home and pretend skate when he could be doing the real thing?
Oh, and when he "scans" in his skateboard, his hands are covering parts of the board, yet Natal magically knows exactly what is underneath his hands, and even under the wheels. Amazing.
@Zeikcied: that whole part was entirely edited, that's been confirmed i beleive. the only real part that was showing of the girl playing soccer(kinda) and the drawing pad.(which wasnt really drawing)
@Jesse Dufault: To be quite honest, I'm more excited for the frustration I'll have when I realize I can't move the Chief more than the width of my living room.
@Slagathorian: can anyone explain why we Canadians have this claim to fame about ketchup chips? i know there red but those yanks have tomtoes or imitation tomato powder too.

I am 35 and my back, knees, hips hurt all the damn time. I just want games where my fat ass can sit still.

Yes indeed ... no-one seems to have realised this yet.

Camera technology like this has severe limits.

Americans don't have ketchup chips?
Also, milk comes in bags in Canada.
