Both look great, I think Natal just seems more implemented and like everything else with SONY you are going to have to wait. Once again MS moving faster than SONY will give them an advantage. I must say all the things I have seen from Natal have me intrigued. What do you guys think? Maybe im wrong, maybe Sony Motion Controller is going to be a bigger hit, but I just feel that Natal has a much better marketing feel already.

Yea, no surprise, MS owns Sony in this department. Natal will be far bigger than Sony's toy.

To me, Sony's controller is just a more accurate Wiimote.

Same. All I slightly care about it more SIXAXIS in games. Since it is built into the controller, it makes it alot handier.

Uh, what I'm trying to get acorss was that your thread title makes it seem like you have factual proof, the thread is really about which one we think will be bigger. I am having trouble drawing a correlation between the title of the thread and the opening. I get what you are saying I suspose but a misleading opening doesn't help.

I think this means that MS is actually serious about Natal coming out while Sony's glow stick isn't close to ready yet. remember that in E3 08 or 07 they had a demo with the eyetoy and colored cups. that was supposed to show the physics but also some motion sensing. but besides that card game i don't remember than thing else that used the eyetoy with motion sensing.

Of course. When they both come out, Microsoft will market Natal a hell of a lot better than Sony with their wands. What gives Microsoft the edge though, at least to me, is that the Natal was a lot more polished during the press conference than the wands. With Sony, they just basically came out, said that it was still a work in progress with just some tiny demos on how accurate it was, which with Microsoft, they had the demos, was up and running, and already had game support.

Really? An eyeroll is all you have? I think I made a valid point since there is no proof of what you are saying. Oh well, enjoy, I'm done here.

Lems shall be the new party game kings I guess....

Halo Tennis and Gear of Pong HD will be NATALICIOUS!

Seriously though, the thread title really comes off as if MS has secretly launched a massive new Natal capain, secretly bringing it to the minds of Little Joe Pucker and Granny Weatherwax alike.

You should change it so it reflect's it survey like nature more TC.

I believe the Natal will be able to release in 2010 and the PS Ball on a Stick will come out maybe in 2011. MS will take a lot of the market share leaving little for Sony. But Sony says that they don't want to focus on the casual market but rather the core gamer market. I see most all of the games coming out using PS Bal on a Stick being ported to the Wii.

That might pan out well for Sony. If the motion wand does accomodate Wii tites to be ported over it definitely just made the PS3 a lot more attractive to devs and consumers alike.

to current casual ps3 owners yes. though i hardly think that some 3rd party ports will convince ppl interested in motion sensing games to buy the much more expensive system.

this, natal has been on a couple of us talk shows, hardly an advertising campaign. sony's motion controller isn't even complete so advertising it would be pointless. they'd have to put 'product may perform and look different' during every commercial. microsoft will likely have a better campaign when the time comes for their release as they always advertise heavily unlike sony who put on an advert or two for a couple of games.

both are gonna be crappy. maybe some soft-core gamers will think this little gimmick is a catch, but i've owned a wii... motion control sucks. I doubt Sony or MS could make that crap fun.

yeah..no, the ps wands dev kits are already in the developer hands, if you watch e3 they are expected it, to be released next year, and the playstation and the wii utilized to different engines are vastly difference.. so its very unlikely there's going to be ports...
