Even though I've become slighlty sceptical of Kinect due to the lack of games announced I reckon I'm still gonna pick one up just on the basis of being able to control the dashboard like Minority Report and I'm sure the wife and kids will have fun with the animals game and the dancing/fitness stuff. I still really need some actual reveiews of the final product before jumping in.If all this stuff about needing a tidy room,lots of space and the right lighting conditions is true then my house is definetly out!
it seems to me their whole strategy is to convince people that it's some earth shatteringly awesome and important thing (circ de soleil riding animatronic elephants), and they don't want any talk of the numerous faults it has to bring it down to the real world, where you have to move that pile of laundry to keep the camera from recognizing it as a player.
Getting 4 controllers would be more expensive than controllerless Natal.
you don't need to buy 4 since the wii comes with one. the $50 wiimote/motion plus bundles and 3 nunchucks would be about $195 ($395 with system), so even in the worst case scenario a wii is cheaper.
You forgot the Wii Balance Board, add another $99. Also the new slim Xbox 360 is only $200 (the same price as the Wii). Xbox 360 with Kinect will be $350.
having the flexibility to buy only what you need still counts for something; with natal you pay the full price whether it's you alone or all 4 people.
The Xbox is more flexible than ever, you're not stuck with motion controls if you don't want them. And if you do want to experience Kinect you can upgrade for the same price as a Balance Board and one extra Wiimote. On the other hand I'm sure gamers would pay to upgrade the Wii's graphics if they could.
