Good luck to the kid.

He probably has more of an imagination; one that doesn’t need games for stimulation.

Astrophysics and martial arts? He’ll probably make himself into an amazing superhero one day.

So Natal is actually just a clever ploy to train a team of superhuman boy genius space ninjas to save humanity from the Nazis and Russians? They should put that on the box, instead of, “Look! It’s Microsoft’s Wii 2.0! Give Bill Gates more money!”

I’m even more pumped for it now. And Tony Hawk’s Ride will make sure we’re space ninjas that can grind the Moon. The future’s so bright, we’re gonna have to wear shades.

Project NATAL will train us to become Space Ninjas with its futuristic technology.

At least he’s not one of those fatty fat kids that live in the trailer park and does nothing EXCEPT play video games.

I don’t see how knowing martial arts helps humanity either, however. It’s just a different hobby. Maybe when he’s a space ninja we’ll all feel bad about how much time we spent on games and wish that we too were space ninjas. Until then, bleh!

It’s fun to make jokes, but…

If anyone seriously said anything actually negative about this kid, it would be the exact same thing as saying “this kid is stupid because he doesn’t like sports”. To each his own.

It’s a little (read: very) known fact that there are kids out there, even boys, that don’t like video games. It’s simply a matter of personal preference. What does it matter to you if a genius kid doesn’t really partake to your favorite past time?
Just because he doesn’t feel like playing video games (and would rather be more active mentally and physically), doesn’t mean that he “sucks” or “lacks imagination”. It just means he has different interests than you do.
I love video games. Always have, always will. That doesn’t mean I think that everyone should have to, though, even if they are still a kid. I say all the power to him to make whatever choices he wants, and congratulations on achieving so much at such a young age.
