I think sony's motion controls is going to be more successful then Natal. I don't know about you but when i come home after a hard day at work, i want to flop on the couch and just relax and play some games. I've seen them use Natal on burnout and i don't think i can hold my hands in the air holding a pretend steering wheel for a extended period of time. I would rather have the logitech G25 racing wheel with 900 degrees rotation, force feedback and petals.

I can't see them using Natal on games like Halo, mass effect, alan wake. Those types of games are why people bought Xbox over nintendo. Sony's seems a little more pratical. I mean if sony's can do everything that nintendo can do (because we know what nintendo is doing is working) if not better but has the hardware to back it up. What would you rather play. Wii sports baseball where guys have no arms or MLB the show with the same or better controls and 1000x better graphics.

You can use Sony's motion controls on a wide varity of different games. But i can see them making games that you have the choice to use motion control or a regular control (i.e MLB the show. You can use your controler play the outfield and pitch or use motion controls to swing a bat.) And if that is the case i can see this being a lot more successful.

I think sony was right when they said people want to hold something when they play games.

About microsofts next system they only have a 2 ways to go. 1 they pay sony to have blu ray in there next systems or 2 go completely with out hard copies. Apple even said when they made the there laptop air that the cd/dvd is the next techonology to go and its true. You have portable hard drives and flash drives or just stream what ever you need.

I think since microsoft as the upper hand in the online scene, they should have an online like steam. Download games right now your HDD. I saw at best buy they have 2 TB hard drives for under 300 bucks. Hard drives are cheap now so downloading whole games to a hard drive should be no probablem. and if you need space you should be able to delete it off your hard drive and be able to download it again when ever you need to.

The cool thing would be if you want to lend a friend a game you can just send it over to them. they can download it play it send it back or better yet you can send a time limit so you don't have to worry about them not sending it back. Like how it is when you rent a movie. The game will just expire after a certain time.

Leave your games and hard drive at home when you go over a friends house to play a game!
