Reggie ain't sweating Project Natal, 'Sphere'

and what a lot of peripherals too.

I am predicting Natal peripherals, to make the "experience" feel more real.

Just like any company, there will be some major milking action.

He's not worried because he knows it will be nothing more than a novelty. Like the Power Glove for the NES, it'll look cool, but hardly anyone will buy it.

The Wii was successful, not for it's motion control, but for it's design, marketing and "now everyone can play!" message.

I prefer the PS3 to the 360, but I can say without reservation that Natal is the only device that has the potential to out-Wii the Wii, for 2 reasons.

A) Controller - Simple (remote) controller - no controller. It's the natural progression to rope in non-gamers.

B) It's new (the Sony motion controller is just the next step-up from the Wii remote).

C) It will probably be packed in with a new (looking) piece of hardware, which avoids the "But it's an add-on!" complaint. More so, Microsoft could package the whole thing together far more affordably than Sony could a PS3 + PS Eye + Motion Controller, and require no extra controllers.

It's just really hard to see what else Nintendo (or Sony) could innovate from here on out, until we start heading into "mind control" or "hologram" territory.

reggies will fuck u up watch it!

Well, I guess they can release a HD Wii anytime they want, and probably for a similar price to the 360.

However I suspect they'll wait until the economy picks up... but i guess if they feel Natal et al are a threat, they might launch it sooner.

This would be very interesting for Nintendo. When these motion controls come out, Nintendo will have lost its only great advantage this generation. They will have to step-up either with better graphics, better multiplayer software. They could also dumb it down with a cheaper hardware price point, or saturate the casual market so much that they won't want any more motion controlled hardware.

The Wii definitely has the advantage with coming with motion controls standard, and after so many years. Sony's is coming out in the Spring and Microsoft's coming out late next year.
