I think the Sony Wand if a better for core gamers as it provides more options.

Natal is good, but if you have to use a controller along with Natal doesn't it go against the point of a "controller-less" experience?

I'm sure there will be games that only use Natal or a controller.

And there will more than likely be games that use a combination of the two. Like using a controller for a FPS and using the voice recognition in Natal to interact with NPC's or something like that.

As long as the games are good I don't think it matters too much.

they are both gimmicks. just playing catchup, but theyre somewhere in limbo. too late for the wii market, too early for Virtual Reality which is when i'll take notice. until then, they will just be gimmicks & i like my 360 controller.
