News: Nintendo Unconcerned By Motion-Control Competitors

[News Bot]

The Guardian's games blog reports on comments by Nintendo discussing why it's not worried about competition from Microsoft and Sony after their recent motion-control announcements at E3. Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime said, "The only thing I'll say is a rhetorical question. Is it fun? If it's fun, then I tip my hat and say, 'Well done.' But what's happening sounds to me a lot like, 'Who's got the prettiest picture. Who's got high-definition. Who has the best processing power?' It sounds like technology, when the consumer wants to be entertained. Our focus is how do we take active play and make it entertainment. And that's what we're going to continue to focus on."

yea natal is gonna bomb you think we had wiinjuries wait till natal has you trying to actually fight someone. the best thing about the wii games is that you CAN cheet and sit on the couch and play them.
They have just enough movment to feel like your really into the gameplay but not to much that it is to much "work" then play.

Natal reminds me of a similar yet much different product that was a bomb not too soon after release: Nintendo Virtual Boy

The virtual boy put the player inside a virtual environment, with goggles that allowed viewing of said environment.
