Project Natal - "Is it like Eyetoy?"

«©NCSX» The following IM exchange took place yesterday. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

User-x: microsoft just announced project natal. You hear?
x66x: Not yet. Busy. What is it?
User-x: wii killer. nintendo is done.
x66x: What is it?
User-x: motion sensing control system that uses a video camera and mic

x66x: Is it like Eyetoy?
User-x: in the ballpark but much better. ms could win the video game wars. linky here

x66x: Hm. It's a stretch to tell me that "nintendo is done" when Natal is still in development
User-x: it's revolutionary though
x66x: true but adoption rates for new accessories are notoriously low no matter how revolutionary something is. People just don't buy them.
User-x: mehhh you always put a damper on s**t
x66x: just being practical about what really happens after the news
User-x: konami should make a new para para paradise game for this
x66xx: we still sell para controllers to Russians
User-x: russians in Russia?
x66x: yep - they're getting the Japanese fads after the Japanese
User-x: brb pizzas here
x66x: How are you going to play a game like Otomedius with this?
