no thanks. I'm satisfied with my 169$ black wii.

they shift too much attention to this "project natal", targeting wii players to shift.
they are neglecting their core gamers giving only gears of war 3, halo reach and fable 3 as exclusives.

i was seriously about to buy a 360 and want to try this natal thingie + the past exclusive rpg's, but the price and lack of new exclusive games to look forward to, killed my interest.

I'm the exact opposite actually. But no reason to start a "console war" here. To each his own ^^

Still, for those who are just now entering the gaming scene, it can be potentially a decent investment to get the new 360. However, the existing 360 users really only need to think about Kinect. Not interested in the new 360 unless my elite dies and it can't get replaced by warranty (I'm on my 4th)

i bet that the Kinect concept could be remade for PS Eye without any hardware change, just software incorporation.

It kinda has already, save for depth sensing, and again all that is is software.

I haven't touched my PS3 much in past months except for BluRay. I passed on the PS Eye when I didn't see much being developed to utilize it, and I lost track since, so I'll have to read up to see what it is doing now.



I'm interested to see how Sony responds, if Kinect proves successful. Nintendo has always had an easy younger audience to appeal to, so it was safe. I wonder how both Sony and Nintendo will react. I am really hoping Nintendo steps up because "I" don't feel an urge to play my Wii much, and I'd like them to draw me back in.
