Gary A Swaby of TheKoalition.com writes: A new episode of The Office means that we have once again had a huge debate on something related to video gaming. This time A.B Frasier told us how he thinks Project Natal is way more marketable than Sony's Arc for the Playstation 3. This was another dispute that had the whole Koalition team split, as far as our individual opinions.
So what we would like to do now is ask you guys, which technology is the most marketable of the two? Remember we are not asking which one you think is better, we are asking which one is more likely to grab the casual market that the Nintendo Wii has managed to capture.
Let us know what you think by voting in the poll below after you finish listening to everyones points.
The most notable reveal would perhaps by the requirements of the Xbox 360 console itself. While Microsoft has insisted since the original unveiling of Kinect at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in 2009, then known as Project NATAL, that the device would be compatible with all Xbox 360 consoles, the revelation of a dedicated port included on the newly redesigned Xbox 360 model has sparked rumours of incompatibility, which were quickly debunked.
odd, i was led to believe it lacked an internal processor and so also needed a core to itself, if not 1-2 processing threads.
So pretty much the same spec as the PS Eye, although I thought the eye went up to 120 Hertz...
"Tracks up to 6 people, including 2 active players"
I think now its official that just 2 ppl can play at the same time.
Xbox Evolved:
"Microsoft is holding no breaks in making sure the general public knows all about Kinect. What cooler spot to also show it than with Jimmy Fallon? "
although i usually watch fallon. i'll have to catch an internet clip of it later.
was pretty funny. same demos they showed at E3 though. Nothing new. But they sure are marketing it quick.
wow first that girl's co-worker hosts the Kinect event and now she's her playing it. I see the audience Microsoft is definitely going after with Bieber, Cosgrove and McCurdy - teenage pop audiences.

A local shovelware dumping ground didn't sound quite appealing and Natal looked like it would serve extra servings of it. But Microsoft reassured us, holding our hands and telling us that everything would be alright. Since then, nothing has changed. After that "conference" at E3, we were shown nothing but how to please little girls."
It's funny because after the Microsoft conference, we actually saw some. In fact, I'm surprised that they showed off the shovelware they did, and then an hour later Sonic Freedom Riders and Child of Eden were shown off and completely destroyed what Microsoft displayed.
gotta agree, MS is exactly like nintendo 2 years ago. hey, what ever happened to that dumb ass vitality sensor.
you flap your arms like penguins you look like an idi0t. arc is more realistic both casual and hardcore gamers will surely go for it.
WOW...A Dildo Wand more realistic both casual and hardcore PS3 gamers...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...Ha ve Fun DROID...HAHAHAHAHA
...Sorry DROIDS Better Luck Next Time..LOL
in my opinion project natal is more marketable, ark has more developers better games, who cares?! as a hardcore gamer i dont want either. i already want alan wake god of war 3, splinter cell conviction, gran turismo 5, agent,heavy rain... if i wanted a wii i would have gotten one along time ago.
Of Sony, I hope "Arc" kicks ass and keeps the innovation going.
Yeah I know the whole motion controller thing has been done, but adding the "eye" in the mix.....sheeeeet.....sign me up
Besides we know what is already going to happen
Natal comes out the closet and announces he is to be called Natalie, gets the red ring of death and curls over.
thxs.... lol
