I would like them to be successful. It would also seperate consoles from Pc gameplay. Microsoft would be smart to attach halo reach to natal and Sony maybe twisted metal or some other IP to move.

your right overall TC...but i think your choice of games wont cut it. lets be a bit brutally honest here. going around a few different boards..it seems that both 360 players and PS3 players have nothing but contempt and revulsion for natal and move respectively. so adding support for natal to reach or move support for GT5 is going to do next to nothing to shift units....the people who play those games are just going to stick to the old controller. id expect the reaction to be alot more positive (its a new hardware release after all)...but its not. they need killer apps...but they need killer apps that have a brawder appeal than halo or GT5. that gladiator fighting game for move looks kewl though.

Kid you mite have been 0 in 1985 but i was playing Atary/Nintendo back then The Averge Gamers is 28 to 32 Years old

as far as Natal I think People understimate Natal they are very close minded to compare it to the wii it can be use in many difrent ways even FPS like House of the Dead kinda way

wow, you'd think if you were as old as you say that you'd have some semblance of reading comprehension. Maybe if you read the thread through again, you'll figure out what I was asking. also - if you have sigs turned off, turn them on and look at TC's sig, that's really the only way you can be forgiven for your lack

Natal has no buttons and has shown nothing close to the resolution needed to detect something like a trigger pulling action, it's reported voxel resolution is 4 cubic centimetres. As a UI it doesn't seem suited at all to FPS. Even an on-rails shooter needs the ability to... shoot.

Unfortunately, yes it is. It hurts me almost as much to say Playstation Move as it does to say Nintendo Wii...almost.

Well it might be useful from a marketing standpoint.

Get Moving.

Make Your Move.

Move Beyond.

Arc was better though, they could have called the ball the ArcLight. In fact, since Arc was already trademarked they should have just called it ArcLight. It sounds cooler and is more phonetically pleasing - PlayStation ArcLight Fall 2010.

Maybe too long, I guess.

It's really too bad Nintendo didn't get to the name first, because "Wii Move" would have been an awesome name for a more complex motion control system on the Wii.
