hehe, yeah. but there is also something on the tip to help the camera track it better.

Dunno how useful lNatal's gonna be for xbox (or rather in what kind of games will make use of it), how will devs handle an FPS for example where you pull the trigger to shoot? With the new PS3 controller you can point around and then still press an actual trigger on the controller to shoot.

You would need to purchase an Microsoft Xbox chip which can be implanted in your brain to use the shooting function by just thinking.

Disclaimer: Might cause memory loss and occasional reboots.

WOW... now the PS3 can be as cool as the Wii.

I suspect that at the same time Nintendo will release their Next gen console.
