Let's have a moment of perspective here in the ongoing - and fun - 'Great Motion Controller War'. Currently the GMCW is being won by Nintendo with Wii. Microsoft's Natal has the potential to be either the A-Bomb or the 'super weapon that never sees the light of day'. Sony has its Magic Wand and EyeToy.
In fact, Dr Richard Marks (who showed off the wand at this year's E3) can be seen showing of a similar device in 2008, thus providing some insight into how long a development cycle is for a device such as this. Makes you wonder how long full-body, controller-free game control needs to be in development.
