I agree with Jimmy — the games and applications drive the success of the system. I’m reserving all judgement until I see real, fleshed out software for use with Natal. It’s all conjecture until then.

This is most likely gonna be just a big disappointment.

Microsoft might be able to put the money behind it, and really push it to the consumers….but I don’t necessarily think it’ll make it good.

I have a feeling most people are going to want a controller to physically hang onto. Although waving your hands around might be cool for a week or two, it’s going to get old….(who wants to have to move their hand in front of the tv to scroll through movies on netflix when you can just simply use a controller?)

With how much money Microsoft is gonna be pushing this product with AND the fact that its gonna be released for only $50 bucks I dont think its gonna flop. Its only gonna disappoint the ones who buy into the hype and believe all that crap they put out about just about anything they release nowadays. Natal has some promise I give it that but the only thing that could hold it back is the games and I believe Microsoft knows this and is gonna put the nessicary money to back that. Money is one thing Microsoft is never short on.

I’ll believe it when I see it. After all the broken promises Nintendo delivered, I’m very skeptical of this type of stuff.

As awesome and interesting as this is, I’m till going to want to sit down on my couch and relax and kill some stuff/jump around/play some fake music. I want to continue sitting on my couch. I don’t want to have to stand up and start looking like I have uncontrollable muscle spasms.

and @Jamie
Come on, Peter Molyneux was toting the capabilities. OF COURSE it’s going to be a let down.

It’s not that I have no faith in Project Natal, so much as I think that it’s being blown out of proportion by the people who talk about it like it’s the next coming of Christ. With this kind of hype, it’s almost guaranteed to let people down.

I like the idea of Project Natal because it takes interactive gaming to the next level. However, there are certain things that should remain..such as the controller. It goes with all sorts of technological advancements and how they may be more convenient or easier but they are not always the preferred method. I also have to agree with many others who think that Natal will be a flop.
