Natal is just plain stupid. NO CONTROLLER?!?!?!!? PS3 Motion Controller looks more promising and will be better for gameplay and not full of shovelware.
BBC has a very factual vid on this, HE IS STATING FACTS!

I like both technologies...the PS3 wand's infa-red PS3-eye thing has be ECSTATIC due to the inherently awful/persistent problems with an IR pointer...being able to see it regardless of obstructions is gonna be awesome--but Sony doesn't exactly have a great track record of developing for their peripherals...of course I can't even think of any peripherals Microsoft has introduced thus far, so that worry is magnified a bit on that end. Like all peripherals, software will sell them. I can see the PS3 wand being more tempting (to develop for) due to the similarities with the Wii, but I think we'll see a lot more novel content for the Natal given that it's the most fundamentally different thing in terms of this new virtual reality-esque kick.

Don't call for people to be banned...just creatively make fun of them at every opportunity.

"Not full of shovelware" is not a fact.

I'm all for it.

Both are rip offs from another company. Sony Wand is obviously a copy (possibly enhanced, have to wait until release to decide) of the Wii remote, and Natal is an enhanced version of the Playstation EyeToy from the PS2. Personally, I am more interested in Natal, I want to see what games can be like without a controller. AIR GUITAR HERO..... I can see it now.
Fighting games, first person games, they can all benefit greatly.

I can see them both flopping majorly, though, but only time will tell.

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

I find Natal kind of interesting and I am wondering how it will incorporate into First Person Shooters. The Wand I am not as interested in, but from what I read it works quite well.

I don't understand how first person shooters could work without tons of peripherals, but that kinda ruins the point of being controller free. But first person adventure games would be great. Maybe a first person fighting game.

Did anyone ever play that actual-motion fighting game that they used to have in the arcade at Disneyworld? It looked like Tekken...in fact it may have actually been a Tekken game with this control system, but you stood in a room and ducked/jumped/kicked, etc. and it kinda-registered.
If NATAL can do that well, I may have to suck it up, get over my Microsoft bias, and give it a shot.

If either one of them manages to nail what they are trying to do, and it's both fun and immersive, I too would have to swallow my pride and jump in.

Rawr!

All I know is that neither of them are going to reflect the success of the Wii.
Seeing that the Wii MotionPlus pretty much has 1-1 motion (it is literally impossible to have true 1-1) I'll never give the wand a chance. Not many games are going to be developed for it exclusively.
As for Natal, I'll give it a shot if good games come out for it, not above-average tech demos. It definitely seems more promising then the Wand. Like I said earlier though, Sony and Microsoft are not going to be happy sales-wise.

Best thread ever

I might give Natal a shot depending on how much it costs. Scenario:
Me I would like to purchase a Natal unit please.
Cashier Alrighty would you like a Warrinty to go with that?
Me No Thanks.
Cashier Anything else today?
Me No.
Cashier Your total comes to $168.88
Me PUT THE DAMN THING BACK!
So price will be my deciding factor as well as the support it recives, I'll comment on Playstation in a little while!

I doubt that MS would make it only $30 less than the actual console.........

Really, with its hi-res I kind of think that expenses might be a little high
