I think out of the 3 systems, Sony's approach has the most potential and is certainly looking the most promising right now.

Everything they do in what I watched of that video (I didn't watch it all) seems like something natal could do without the need for a wand. What sony did seems pretty basic actually as the wand is really the key to the whole system.

Well for most games you'll need to hold on to something with buttons or triggers. Otherwise its just goofy like holding an invisible steering wheel... oh wait.

I don't think the wand is due to any shortcomings, I think it's purely down to a necessity to make the motion application as trans-genre as possible. It'll correct the wrongs of the Wii remote, and also provide other perks from being a camera as Natal offers. I don't want a completely controller free experience, you don't hold air when you use a sword, u don't hold air when driving etc.

Don't get me wrong, I think if they get Natal working it'll be great for some casual stuff and for a UI, but for serious gaming having a controller is a bit more practical it seems. |

Sony's system seems to be completely based around the wand, which can be limiting. Natal doesn't have that limitation. If you need to hold something in your hand, hold anything you want - Natal probably wouldn't care. I think Natal will open up a whole new market for peripherals - many of which would be nothing more then props.

Bottom line to me though is that BOTH systems are going to end up nothing more than a fad for a few months that will die out quickly. IMHO.

I disagree. As reluctant as many "gamers" are to embrace it, I think the Wii was the beginning of the end for the "traditional" controller.

Having said that, I will freely admit I could be wrong. But to me there is a distinct difference between having some motion sensing in a controller and having a system that intends to completely get rid of the controller.

I certainly hope not. For some games, it is OK but I don't want all games to use it.
