How will this be played here in the U.S., where we have so many fat fucking people?
Didn't you see the game with the Godzilla ?

Not anytime soon... Nintendo is crushing them all... and for good reason. The Wii is the most fun you have with a console.

The PS3 is nice too, I love mine, but my Wii is still the party console.


Wii purchases are on the down stoke. Japan sales have plummeted which means the US is close to follow. The wii, has very little adult titles. The last 2 matrue rated games that came out did horrible and with sales like that it makes it harder to find developers who want to invest money and time into  flops..

xbox 360 is here to stay...

The install base is already massive... the PS3 is the one with the growth room. Everyone who wants a Wii or a Xbox360 already has one.

Everything I'm reading shows the Wii sales while down, are still doing fairly decent in both the US and Japan.

I like the idea, and the technology is awesome, but I can see a lot of problems with it.  When you've got four people sitting there playing it, how does it differentiate someone playing or simply moving in their seat?  Also, if its aimed at kids, how many kids have a large enough bedroom to have 6' square clear playing space in front of their TV's?  And finally, like a lot of others have mentioned, what if I've just come home from work and just wanna chill out on the sofa?

It could be awesome, but it could also be just a novelty, like the Wii.  I got a Wii, and play it occasionally, but I always go back to the PS when I want to have a proper game, because the graphics, gameplay, etc. are much better.

exactly...I think this is going to try and be the Wii competition. Not for serious gamers. As a parent, I would get my kids something like this. Several uses -

Family time
30hr a day after homework to make sure they are getting exercise
getting energy out when stuck they are stuck in the house on a rainy day (8 months out of the year here in Seattle)

it has it's uses ...but again I don't see this being an adult console.

i hope sony will destroy nintendo and ms
i hate these 2 now for killig videogames
but i guess sony also is going to show something similar


How did MS kill videogames?   The 360 is a gamer's console.  The developers love it.

No.  The more immersion and interactive by far the better.  Pushing buttons and not caring about the story and moral dilemmas are for pattern seeking morons who would be happy playing solitaire or connect four for hours on end. 

You are on holiday in Bali with your 18 year old son and wife. You have been there for a week and are ready to head home. All three of you are at the airport getting ready to board your plane, when an armed officer comes around with a sniffer dog. You have all your bags on a trolley, and the dog sniffs at both your wife and your bag, and passes over it, however when he gets to your sons bag, he begins to get a bit more active.

You look over at your son and he’s looking a little nervous. You know he’s smoked a little marijuana in his time, but generally, he’s a good kid, and you certainly didn’t think he’d actually be stupid enough to bring it back on the plane with him. At first you feel angry that he would do such a thing and start planning your responsibility lecture, but then you realize that you are in Bali, and they have a zero tolerance policy on drugs, meaning your son could be jailed for life, or worse, executed, if he does have some illicit materials in his bag.

You look at your wife and realize she has come to the same conclusion and has gone pale with fear.

The armed officer accompanying the dog is beginning to look more stern with every sniff the dog takes and looks directly at you and asks you to open to the bag.

You do, and as the officer begins to take things out of the bag, you see to your horror that there is a small quantity of marijuana stashed in with your sons belongings.

The officer looks at you and asks “Who’s bag is this?”

You realize you have to answer, but the answer won’t be easy. You see your wife in the corner of your eye, and she is about to step forward and claim it as her own; what do you say?

I think the video said it had facial recognization technology, so moving spots technically wouldn't effect it.

I agree with your last paragraph.  The gaming portion of Natal is a little gimmicky, but as long as they don't try to incorporate it into every single game, it will be fine.   It will broaden the appeal.  It's better for kids, anyway.  I liked it more for the non gaming aspects of it.

If they do try to make it for every game, it will alienate the hardcore gamer they've acquired.  It would make it impossible for me to play games without spilling my Maker's Mark.

Say nothing.  Say nothing during questioning.  Wait to see if charges are filed.  Get a lawyer.  Shouldn`t be too hard to beat.
