At Tokyo Game Show 2009, Microsoft and Sony touted their upcoming motion controllers in different ways. Sony actually showed off working games at itsTGS press conference. Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet were demonstrated on stage. While it was only two games, it was an important showing for two reasons. First, it showed real-world applications of Sony's motion controls on existing products. Secondly, Sony showed that it will have first-party and third-party support.
Microsoft, on the other hand, issued a press release, confirming support from several major publishers and developers. It also held a Natal panel featuring Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, Sega’s Toshihiro Nagoshi, and Konami’s Hideo Kojima . From what I understand, the panel was more about concepts than actual products (it's hard to tell since it was in Japanese and the translation was lacking). Still, Microsoft supported its Natal initiative with star power and big names.
In the battle of wave motion cannons controllers, who do you think did the better job at TGS 2009? Do you like what Sony did, with real-world demonstrations and actual games? Or do you prefer Microsoft's broad support and star-studded panel? Do you prefer actuality or potentiality? The motion-control skirmish (a subsection of the console wars) will be interesting to watch in 2010. For this round, I want to know which company used TGS more effectively, in your opinion.

btw the eyetoy is garbage and 360 already came out with their own eyetoy we jus call it a webcam loser and it tracks better than that crappy eyetoy that no one bought, can you losers even video chat yet.
and now Sony knows there product sucks so they try to combine a wii mote withn eyetoy jus to be able to read motion like a natal camera
HandzReaper

natal have sutch high goals. and if ive understood them right its not just about som silly "pretend to bowl and watch a uggly little cartoon man do the same on screen" dream but also about voice, facial expresion ec e. As a old roleplayer my knees goes all jiggely =)
microsoft have the biggest hype from my side by far. will thay deliver? thats another question.

It s good to see that developers are getting new tools in how they can make games and how people interact with those games. But I personal have no interest in the PS3 remote and natal.
I do think natal might be a little more safer then the remote
(flying remotes are scary)

It's already been incorporated into a game, burnout, and it performed fine from what everyone could see on talk shows.

Motion control is such a gimmick. It was a gimmick back at the Wii launch, and its a gimmick now with the wands and natal. The Wii has a few game that I would like to play, but not enough to make me go out and buy a couple hundred dollars worth of hardware to play. The only thing that looks halfway decent on the Wii is stuff that was made just for the Wii, and still you can't really love it. Give me Gears with a controller or don't give me anything at all.

I seriously don't see why people are getting excited for Natal, I'll admit it's nifty. But I'm willing to bet anyone here that it will be buggy, and mess up. Especially something with this type of goal in mind. It will probaly screw up big time, when they start to make REAL games for it. Most people say Sony's motion control is just a dildo-looking Wii-Mote, Which its not, the technology is much greater. Also Sony is taking the safe route, To make sure there product doesn't mess up.

people please remember that natal is a PS eye toy and i say eye toy because the PS eye tracks better from what i see. Natal is not doing anything new and yet people are like O.M.G. sony has been doing this on since the PS2 and now that microsoft is doing it the media and 360 fanboys are like"its so new and cool" why because it tracks your legs. Sony R&D team realized that you need buttons for some important game types like FPS,and RTS and i can go on. NAtal is a step back to what the EYe toy was and we all agree that the EYE toy sucked. the games were liner and stupid and now microsoft is doing it while sony take a step forward with the wand and is not getting the same kind of buzz. it makes me sick to see. you all will see when microsoft coppies sony again and brings out the micro wand. an this talk of sony copying the wii is retarted. the sure it may look that same on screen but the tech could not be different and like i said sony had this stuff with the PS2. plus you don't even need the wand. the wand gives you 1:1 and buttons thats the only reason they added it. in case you missed it i have on my youtube page a playlist that shows that everything i said is true and yet people still argue.
Sony with RE5+motion control= win
why because if its intergreated in RE5 then is can be used in many different types of games that is what they wanted to do and have done.

I have a question that has been bothering me, does the ps3 wand have a analog stick attached to it like the wiimote+nunchuck?

Either way, it's great news to see that the newer advancements to gaming itself are near.

RRODisBack,
Absolutely not true...Natal uses IR to detect skeletal frameworks, etc. and will require no light at all. Get your facts straight.

Sony has taken the route of an extremely simple solution realizing that they probably couldn't produce a fully encompasing, fully integrated, easy to develop and implement, controllerless solution that significant numbers of mainstream developers would accept as viable.

Well, anyone who wants to play motion control games, can, by purchasing a modestly priced console, devoted to them. The market place is already saturated with them. In fact, sales of said console have plummeted, precipitously. Microsoft and Sony may be trying to board the train, long after it left the station.

Alright people, let's try to keep this civil. Honestly i consider the ps3 w/ motion control as the Wii HD. What people failed to understand the differences between Nintendo and Sony, is that Sony has a WAY larger internal studio than Nintendo. Also , unlike Nintendo, some third party games can offer two different ways to play it. For example, Silent Hill could be played with the dual shock 3 or you would use the motion controls for a different feeling. Natal , to me, sounds good on paper, but i just don't think that the tech is there for it to fully be utilized the way people envision it.

Pay close attention to where he goes into 1st person with the gold gun. I could totally picture first person shooter making that leap in to VR. Maybe that's just me.

I really hate how the xbots keep on comparing sony's motion controller to the wii when natal is basically an exact copy of everything the eye toy had been striving for back when it was the "revolution" of the day. The sony mo sens controller already has motion capture and can do everything that natal can do and more because of the combination of the playstation eye's mothion sensing capabilities, its built in speaker and the wand. All the people saying that natal is a revolution are clearly just some of those xbots that like to make things up in order to make it seem like they're better. In the area of pricing, Microsoft will most likely try and suck as much money out of its fanbase as possible for natal's camera. It will most likely cost close to if not over $100. Seeing as how the network adapter was $90 this will probobly cost more. The new mo-controller from Sony will most likely cost the same if not more than the dualshock 3. Sony will probobly come out with a PSEye and Wand pack that probobly costs less than buying the two seprate. I unfortunatly already bought the PSEye so I hope they come out with a pack that only has the wand.

I'm still gonna play shooters with dual analog sticks anyway. Call of Duty was good on the Wii and also The Conduit. The Wii remote had great response. But when it comes down to it, I just enjoy analog sticks better. Been using 'em since the N64. (007 Oh Yeah!!!) I don't really wanna change the way I play games so someone can charge me an excessive amount of money to try it, whether it's Microsoft or Sony.
