Project Natal - All hype, no inovation?

[Azimuth]

Because crap like this usually is written by fanboys and clearly the writer has done little or no research into the subject matter, so he falls back on the age old console bashing method.

Please quote the offending sentence(s).

NATAL does not actually a camera in the strictest sense:

You're simply confusing the issue here. NATAL USES CAMERAS AND OTHER STUFF TO SIMULATE MOTION CONTROL.

HARDWARE MOTION CONTROL.

MOTION CONTROL.

Again, it's not something new. It's certainly taking the technology further than before, but hardware motion control is not something revolutionary in and of itself. I don't see anything in this article that moves outside this particular argument.

So its a combination of a Sensor/Camera/Depth sensor and microphone, not just a simple camera like the eyetoy.

And neither I nor the writer of this article are saying it is. But it is related, comparable technology regardless.

A good writer researches and studies the topic thoroughly before forming a opinion, and usually he tries to be unbiased as possible. If a article is not objective and only service to slander something then its not writing anymore but crap.

Once again, it's very clearly an opinion piece. Opinion pieces are largely subjective. That's kind of the whole point. Accusing this article of slander is absurd, and honestly, it's the kind of thing a fanboy does.

No one is saying its not motion control or that its something new but depth perception voice recognition IS something new. They basically re-invented the wheel and made it better.

No one accuses it of slander, I am saying its a badly written piece by someone who did zero research on the subject before writing it.
