the best part is that the ps3 hardware can back all this efforts so we will see some other amazing features coming our way! If I had bought any other console than the ps3 I would feel robed!

Natal already has all these things.

Both of these peripherals are capable of things none of us have ever experienced yet. The games that support them are all that matter at the end of the day anyway.

1.7 - Good to see Sony taking the lead again.
Nice voice recognition in 20 + languages, hope it will work as fine and better than in end war. Facial recognition, head tracking also cool

Won't be long before Microsoft will do the same. With natal Microsoft does have an edge featuring these futures thanks to their infra-red camera, inboard processor on natal and previous experience with voice recognition software on pc's.

Question being how big of an advantage this will be and if the advantage will be noticeable.

1.8 - ^^^ Even Match
Natal will be using a dedicated processor just for Voice and Facial Recognition (V&FR), while the PS3 will be tapping directly into the power of the Cell. Due to the processing power needed for V&FR, games requiring a heavy amount of these features will have to suffer graphically on the PS3. This in effect means that both systems will finally be even in processing power.

Of coarse, there will always be those games that will skimp on V&FR features and go for Graphics Greatness, but it is interesting to see how Natal will be such a decisive tactic for MS. I'm not going to say that MS is going to win this console gen, but they are not going down without a fight. Which is good for us gamers as we are the ones who are paying to see the Heavyweight match of the decade... that will take a decade just to find out who wins. lol

"Shame they still don't have cross-game voice chat."

Shame they still don't charge up to $500 over the life of the console just for "chatting privileges".... PER ACCOUNT!!! 0.O

1.10 - @SoulBrotha3292
Sony has had this tech for years, the reason they didn't want to implement it just yet is due to it being so processor intensive. Hence the reason Natal has a processor dedicated to it inside the cam rather than MS just using the cam the 360 already has. Sony has publicly displayed this tech for the past 3-5 years at events such as GDC, which most people don't pay attention to the way they follow E3.

So to say Sony is fallowing MS is a bit of a stretch, especially since Sony has actually implemented some of this tech into the PS2's Eyetoy. Believe it or not, one of the reasons Soccom was such a big hit on the PS2 was due to it featuring voice recognition. As for facial recognition, Eyetoy had a game in dev called Eyedentify which likely didn't get released do to the amount of processing power needed to run smoothly wasn't available in the PS2.

So to get it correct, MS is copy/pasting Sony. I'm not trying to knock Natal, just correct the misconception. It's like watching a child get excited when Uncle Larry shows them how he can pull off his thumb. Then when pops shows them how he taught Uncle Larry how to do it when they where kids, he's treated like his trick is not as good... when it's the same trick.

Ohh well, wait until MS shows you how they can pull an invisible rabbit out of it's invisible hat... ohh they did at E3 09! lol

there will still be some who insist Natal is far superior. The PS3 is perfectly capable of doing anything Natal can and more but as I say, because it's MS it's suddenly gods gift to gaming.
This will make things really interesting though. Sony really are pushing the PS3 in all area's this year. 2010 is going to be MEGA.

Cool, but developers have been using voice recognition since last gen. It'll be nice to have a uniform feature built-in though, to make it easier for implementation.

What's wrong with the wand? If you're playing a game and swinging a sword, it would be cool to have something in your hand to hold on to, just for the tactile feeling. Furthermore, it would increase the price of the camera to have 3D

I agree with you .

if i use a sword for example .it would be awesome to have the "wand " vibrate when you hit ( like the wiimote in zelda TP ) . you just become more IN the game thanks to these little details ..natal on the other hand will have you wave your hand in the air like an idiot ...sadly ..

im talking about distance not tracking, and i dont have a problem with the wand i find the wii to be enjoyable, but what im saying is it cant track distance heck japanese cell phone cameras have smile recognition. what im saying is msft will use the fact that its camera can see in a 3d plane not just left and right but in depth as well. cameras are good for gaming and all, but not in fps's. i will never buy an fps game that uses a camera that includes both the ps3 and the 360.

No it doesn't recognise 3D it's just a normal webcam. You will need the wand for 3d motion detection. Yes the ps eye can detect motion or track cards like in the game eye of judgement.

Please look at the sony wand video to see the difference.

But I do love the concept behind eye pet. Starting to miss my tamagotchi
