I think Sony and Microsoft are facing a bit of an identity crisis. Nintendo is destroying them in the “console war”, but are they really at war with Nintendo anymore? Are motion controllers (or cameras, in the case of Project Natal) really going to attract more casual users to these hardcore systems? It seems like a big risk. My thoughts: Natal will be used for interface, Minority Report type stuff, which really doesn’t have much to do with games. The Sony 1:1 motion control stuff looks more promising in terms of games. But either way, it’s something I personally didn’t need. The Wii games I enjoy the most minimize motion controls (see: Punch Out).
When I heard that Bioware was doing a Star Wars MMO, I didn’t blink an eye. After all, I’ve never played a MMO before. Then, this came out. If the game is half as good, I may need to buy a better PC.
Finally, for anyone who twitters, behold the pulse of gamers…in real time.
