Me? I'm just excited for all the new options when it comes to input. I'm genuinely excited for both.

Project Natal is also a little jagged at this point, but for doing what it does without any sort of physical controller, it's still really neat.

But really people, read what you type before putting it up, blaming Sony for copying something we heard about for years now is just silly. If you are going to say that at least mention MS. At least Sony doesn't have a 5 foot box in front of the tv needed for movement tech.
(Start flaming but please be aware that I own both 360 and ps3 and spend most of my time on the PC)

However, I saw several clips during their montages that looked interesting. The problem though is that thanks to the montage being a tiny friggin clip on a huge screen without any sort of label for each clip I have NO CLUE what those games are.

This should, however, silence the "Wii is a fad" crowd. Because the Wii apparently was such a fad that both of its competitors decided to come up with their own form of the tech.
Though you will never convince me that Natal is anything but a fancy EyeToy.

Thank you very much.

Ooookay.

The wiimote has a infrared camera that seeks the light emmited by the sensor bar to position the controller and an acelerómeter and now a gyro to precisely put the angle and position.
Sony's solution is a glowing stick with the same components and the only difference is that the camera is infront of the TV...
So Fadecy is not exactly right when they say they are completly different. But then again this was a very likely turn of events once every major console got montion controls...

So why haven't they done it yet?

@Fadecy: Rival Schools for PSN/XBLA PLZ: Yup, i actually thing this could turn in an even more precise control than the wiimote or natal, but then again, i would need to actually see the games being developed. For now it looks the same with the posible advantage of voice recognition and video recording.
