Why people continue saying it is a wii rip off when it is actually a completely different and improved technology for tracking.

The right thing is to say it was inspired by the wii success.

As for Natal it is something really nice , but people think it is a new tech which is not. It was developed before Microsoft bought it. But what make Natal unique is the proprietary software Microsoft making for it.

# MY Prove!!! — Afrit 2010-03-10 22:42

To All who gonna down rate me for saying Project Natal is not a new tech here is my prove.

This is the true concept and prototype behind the Natal in this video 6 YEARS AGO:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYHr0I-iFHE&videos=x5bUGfKctUA

Notes:
1- This isn't the Eye Toy, it was called Z camera developed by 3DV as it was tested on PS2 for this demo. And he clearly said "this isn't our technology".
2- It used infrared for depth detection same as Natal but the technology was expensive at that time.
3- Dr Richard Marks on this demo video is the same guy behind the original EyeToy , PlaySation Eye and the Arc. You can make sure by checking the video of the article again.

Quoting its me:

project natal is better tho, seriously this is a wii rip off sure it might be better for the 3d tech. part. but at the end of it were gonna be playing the same games as wii...

on wii's best day, they cant make games near as good as sony,
maybe sony didnt come up with the idea first,but they DID make it better, even before it is released

Hopefully this will prove people that it IS different to Nintendo's WM+.

# Is it just me... — Guest 2010-03-10 05:36

Or does these two give the impression that they are a gay couple

I've gotta say, I'm impressed!

I just might have to pick this up

# RE: Watch: Up close and personal with Sony's Motion Controller — Guest 2010-03-10 07:56

I really feel for Sony's R&D department They have to contend with the misconception that its copying the Wii.

+1 # agreed — JOshISPoser 2010-03-10 10:35

but i think at release, people will be highly impressed and notice the differences.
it's like the snes and genesis. nintendo was a lil more popular, but the genesis was better.
the wii's way popular, but the ps3 will do it better and differently.

# Ehhhh..... — ShinseiTom 2010-03-10 13:09

What? The genesis was better? When did that happen? And how was it better?

# Looks very impressive — Chilloutcolin 2010-03-10 10:58

But this'll definately be a wait and see purchase for me...If I see some good games coming out for it, then I'll buy it..Is there any 'rough' date on it yet?..Looks like they could be great for the level creation for LBP or ModNation.

# Nothing wrong... — Guest 2010-03-10 11:39

With this being similar to the Wii controller. The existing casual market will be comfortable using it, any existing research and development used in Wii will port to this very easily, people will be able to play better versions (graphics and tech) or many of the good Wii games. This is great.

As for Natal, lets wait and see what comes out for it. It is the unproven tech. I do think it will be better for fitness games though. The motion tracking fits the bill.

# Better then wii mote? — TheReaper 2010-03-10 11:46

looks like this might be better then the wii mote... only time will tell... know its time for the waiting game.

# ,,, — Guest 2010-03-10 17:03

Well, in any case, I look forward to Sony Sports and Sony Sports Resort.

# Yes — Zhipp 2010-03-10 17:47

Pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to seeing what kind of games people make for this.
