Hello System Wars!
My question to you is exactly what you probably thought it would be - are you interested in purchasing the new motion-based technology released for either Xbox 360 and Playstation 3? If so, why, and if not, why?

I appologise if this has already been asked multiple times...

Thank you for taking the time to visit this thread :)

Yeah, the Sony wandy waggly thingy. I just feel out of them i need some sort of feedback to the game. I have to know i'm controlling something instead of nothing. Such as the E3 demo of Natal, driving a car? With nothing? I don't think i could. So yeah Sonys option is what i will be getting,

I value your opinion. There have been a considerable number of editorials across the web who share your feelings, and I'm interested to hear an alternative viewpoint from those who favour Project Natal.

Well, my parents sold their PS3 (they weren't that happy with it and traded it in for something else), so no.

If you still had your PS3, do you think you would have purchased the technology?

Not really sure. Never really told them about it. But if they did know, my dad would've been interested. Not so sure on my mom though.

Not really.

I never cared for it on the Wii, and I don't see my views ever changing with Sony's Wiggle Waggle Wander Wand.

If....and ONLY if the Wander Wand does prove itself to be a standard for FPS console control, and MORE devs take this approach far far more seriously than on Wii with CoD Reflex, for example,I'll probably take it a tad more seriously. Otherwise, no. I'll stick to standard control padsand KB + M on my p.o.s. PC for my RTS fix.

I'm telling you right now that I'm not gonna buy any of that stuff day one. The Sony wand is the only thing I might buy since I don't have a 360. I'm gonna wait and see how the stuff works out and if the games are worth it.

Interesting - I feel that this is the best mentality to go with, despite the fact that the presence of this thread may imply the contrary. Indecisiveness is probably the best approach when looking at new products, but I can certainly say at this point that I am intrigued by what both technologies have demoed. Have you seen any gameplay footage of the Sony wand, as of yet?

No I haven't seen it yet. I'm sure that E3 will help me alot when deciding on it. But it will ultimately come down to the general welcome by the gamers themselve.

I probably won't buy ether, even if I get a PS3/360, unless there's some killer title.

I'm not an impulse shopper, so I most likely won't be buying any motion technology off the bat. Maybe wait a year or two to see if Developers support it.

Probably, since I like to try new things. However, I haven't seen any game working with them yet to get me excited about them. I'll have to see what they come up with, maybe some completely new kinds of games.

The Sony Gem looks amazing, but I have a feeling they are not going to make many games for it, and it will fail. I'm hoping that I am wrong.

As for Natal, personally I don't have a 360 (My brother does), and I think it looks dumb. I don't trust controlling a game with a camera (Everyone out is pretty horrible). Also, half the videos were proven fake, and I don't think any developers are going to want to bother with it.

So far neither, need a good game for one of them to get me into buying it, product itself has to have a justified price too, I mean if NATAL has an awesome game, but it, itself costs like $100, then screw it, but if Sony's has a few games that look worth getting but its only like $30-40 maybe (and vice versa)

Maybe, not sure on NATAL. Sony's wand tech looks like it could actually work.

Both devices look superior to the Wii-mote, at least without motion plus, need some proper games to use M+..

Only way they will get me buying motion control crap is if they release some ridiculously awesome game which requires the use of it. otherwise i will never buy them.

I'll buy a Wii when its price drops again (it'll be a while)

Don't really care about the PS3 thing if it works like in the video where the guy had a DS3 in on hand and the stick in the other.

Natal is the least I care about since I like to have a controller and I don't care about talking to my console. It might surprise me later on though.

Neither. Even if the implementation somehow turns out to be amazing, I simply don't have the room where my systems are set up to use them.

Natal looks awesome. I'm just as excited to use it on PC as I am for any 360 implementation.

I'll buy into it as soon as they prove it can produce superior games to the ones we usually get with "average" technology.

I value your opinion. There have been a considerable number of editorials across the web who share your feelings, and I'm interested to hear an alternative viewpoint from those who favour Project Natal.

I own a Wii so no wand thing for me. I'm still on the fence about Natal. The most compelling thing so far for me is "Minority Report"-ing my way through the dash board. Love that and turning my console on and off with verbal command.
