The fact that someone took the time to create that youtube video proves how dedicted and SAD sony fanboys are...

As expected.

E-Skills UK, holds a yearly event for students studying I.T management for business. The conference is held in one of the companies associated with the course who involve P&G, IBM, Transport for London, ITV, Deloitte,Fugitsu and CA. This year it was held at P&G head office in surrey next to Sonys head office funny enough.

Each company had a rep take the stage for 30 mins telling us the benefits of our course and how they utilize ITMB in their daily operation. AFter that, there was a presentation for a revolutionary new produt that students were told to come up with prior to the event.

The winning team i think from Exeter uni, came up with a product that lets you watch movies, pause the movie and buy a clothing item used by the movies actors.The funny part is them utilizing Project Natal as a way to make the system better.

When they were presented with the award, a rep from Fugitsu asks the crowd, how many had heard of Natal and half of them raised their hands. He then described it as " A DEVICE THAT WILL CHANGE INTERACTION IN THE GAMING,PC PRESENTATION AND TV VIEWING FOR CONSUMERS" He even claimed that some companies are seeing how they can utilize it in the medical sector and childrens education. He said that the software for it is amazing and for the fact the students utilized such a "great" upcoming device to their presentation is what made all the companies give them the award.

If Microsoft plays their cards right, Natal will be huge because its applications not just for games but its real world use is almost unlimited.

Quite simply MOVE doesn't have full body tracking so it's limited. Take a look at the GDC socom demo of it. what's the point of having the motion controller?? the bloke hardly moves at all, and he has the ask "is there any gestures?" If you don't have to move the MOVE to play a game, what's the point! use the normal controller!! which already has accelerometers in it!!!.
Natal has full body tracking. And I can't believe everyone is still saying "its just an eyetoy", no its not. Its far more advanced, the eyetoy was the same as xbox live vision camera. NO one can say anything about natal until E3.

wow people vote about something they barely know much about.

howjord you don't even understand the mechanics behind either Move or Natal. I doubt you'd even understand the Wii mechanics therefore, to say that one is more advanced than another is a pure guess. You don't know everything and it was a bit of an idiot comment to make, because you don't understand what you are talking about.

I guess you've played Natal and Move as well? Mmm? Yes? Please, some people are so pathetic.

this is the sad thing in all this:

sony is being upfront and truthful.not only to GAMERS on what to expect,but to DEVELOPERS on what they can do with Move.

no fake concept videos.no fake celebrities that aren't part of the consoles community.no fake hype without REAL TIME DEMONSTRATIONS.

sony is proving that their tech works in real time.the motion,the head tracking,the voice control,avatar creation,painting,etc.i could list multiple videos that show that sony's tech works.no outlandish videos,no outlandish hype....just straight from the hip reality.

but the haters should have seen them all as we have posted MANY.

microsoft has shown nothing to gamers,nothing to developers at GDC,nothing to show that their tech WORKS.never mind about ACURRACY.just that it WORKS as advertised.but no.microsoft would rather hide behind smoke and mirrors than pull the curtains open.

who would you trust more?a company upfront and real about what they are doing(and have been doing for years with their tech)....

OR...a company that has time and time again,used deception,viral campaigns,bought advertising companies to muscle others to make themselves look good,and has a base of individuals that patrol the threads(even the execs themselves from turn-10 and greenberg)to bash the competition?

A.a company that has offered more of their content for free?

or

B.a company that has made gamers pay for almost EVERYTHING?

A.a company that has spent more money to make their games the best they can be and spends less marketing dollars?

or

B.a company that spends more **marketing** their product,and less on the **CREATION** of that product?

seriously.....do we need a poll to figure all this out on what is better on the fact that it is shown and is real and can be touched?and not relying on 1 year old marketing videos and marketing hype backed by celebrities that get paid to like whatever you PAY them to like?

a celebrity's job is to make you think something is better than it really is.....

hahaha.....and a poll that is backed by nothing........2 games shown a year ago and it's better than sliced bread.......

2500 readers isn't a good indication. Just alot of gullable bots, that are wowed by Microsofts 'Smoke & Mirrors'.

Jump Out, Play B3yond

MOVE over LAGTAL

butthurt much.

You want full body tracking.

You need to go mo-cap.

Move does mo-cap. with the controller. that's the whole point. It's tracked through the ball with the pseye.

Sony Move- FLOP

Microsoft Natal- $$$$

They're both rubbish.

Until we play them both, there's no way to know which one is better. It's going to come down to how well the developers utilise the new technology, especially first party studios.

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/3...

ah!now I'm sure....project natal will be a success like the mega-cd

ah what 'excites me more'. well in answer to that i'd say natal, but that's only if it can work. which one do i feel will deliver the type of games i'm into? move

natal = more abitious
move = more likely to work

i guess people like playing kiddie games when it comes to motion controls....i will take the PSmove with socom4 and RE5 anyday over drawing elephants and playing with 5 year old boys

if your going to disagree please put a reason why i would love to know why natal is more liked at this moment when it has not showed anything interesting or new since e3

the readers are going to be let down! xD

oh look at submitter xD i bet she/he/it spends its day looking for these articles trying to save some face xD

well natal can be mashable's reader's favorite

i'd vote for neither of them =/

How can existing technology which was dubbed, "Meh" all of a sudden be "AMAZING"? Just because of Microsoft Marketing dollars?

I've noticed this trend this entire generation, specifically with the xbox. Its like everything released on it is the next PERFECT game, but in reality its not even close.

Example: Bioshock. Amazing when it was exclusive to xbox, then when I played it on ps3 i'm like 'meh, nice art, just another shooter'. Other Examples: Ninja Gadien 2/Sigma 2, FFXIII etc..

Like any game on teh xbox is the next greatest thing, but on the ps3 (i guess the older crowd) is like "been there, done that. GOod but not perfect."

It really bothers me. Feels like people being sold on the marketing rather then the product itself and that doesn't speak well for thinking for yourself in society.

I think my biggest problem is I feel that Microsoft has somehow made the Gaming Industry more juvenile and manipulated people's minds. Its like Alan Wake, Gears of War, Mass Effect. These are all games you wouldn't pay 2nd attention too, if it wasn't marketed SO HARD to you as XBOX games. Infact, most of the "exclusives" are actually just PC games from PC Developers who turned console.That shoudl say something.

Dragon Age origins, Oblivion etc... These are all PC developers turned console. They might be good games, but most of you xbox players would CARE LESS about these.

Just goes to show How marketing can easily influence people. The wii is another perfect example. Market, Market, Market, and now it gathers dust in 90% of the households.

Rant over...

anyway, i support 'move'..cuz it is more precise for both hardcore gamer and casual gamer..

i am very familiar with both and have only 1 thing to let you know Natal can not track a full body.can not.now it can track whats in front of it but only the 1 side.Full body tracking requires more then a camera on 1 side.also people set a cam to 30 fps and swing a stick like a sword.notice how the stick is not a stick its a smear across the screen.try that at 60 fps much less of a smear.that smear you see will cause errors in the accuracy.Not to mention the only thing natal can do that the ps eye cant is work in low level light.body tracking it can and has done.tracking in 3D space it can and has done.i mean really what do people think Natal can do that the ps eye cant?

Microsoft can make people believe anything like paying to play online when you the payee host the servers for majority of their multiplayer games on your internet connection which you also pay for lol

Microsoft owns ur mind xbots

Couldn't care about motion control to be honest.

We all know if Sony had come up with Natal, it would have been hyped by Sony Fanboys as innovation of the century, however it's Microsoft, so it just sucks. The mind of a Fanboy.

So hands up here who has played the release version of either Natal or Move? Hands up, oh sorry you can't because none of you have because the release version hasn't been produced yet.

How about making judgements of what each can an cannot do when they are released, instead of making statements about something you haven't got a clue about.

Not surprised. There's more hype for it. Which is good. But I don't see what has players hyped for it? Microsoft has taken out the CPU, and it now uses 20-30% of the 360's CPU power meaning no NEXT GEN looking games as well as the fact it hasn't had any proper titles shown. At the moment its just speculation and Microsoft PR that's fueling the hype, nothing else. It hasn't shown anything that PSeye can't do. That's what I'm waiting for. And as such, I won't blindly hype it yet.

Sorry. As a mature PS3 owner I would never bother to participate I such a childish endevour, especially when it is obvious the Move has a serious advantage over the Natal. Just because a bunch of Microsoft fanboys jumped to vote for the Natal doesn't prove anything.

I don't understand why ppl don't ignore these things (whatever faction). Noone played with those peripherals yet with complete games, just demos for one and demos for the other one. Who knows which one is better, in the end? Noone i guess, we'd just have to wait and try them directly, for a honest opinion.
Better Natal? Oh well, good for the 360 ppl.
Better Move? Ok, good for the PS3 ppl.
Who owns both the consoles, better for him/her, he/she can choose or buy both.
This stupid console war starts annoying me, there's no day without a stupid article (if no more than one) brought here by a fanboy of this or that company. And not for informations, just to say "mine is bigger than yours"... sadness, again =P

Sony fanboys would you all just please stop?!? L.I.G. (LET IT GO)Does the PS3 have to win every poll? Every post has to be positive about the PS3? Does every post have to proclaim the PS3 as the second coming? Come on people...the poll can be large or small...doesn't matter..the people that took the poll felt that Natal was their new tech of choice. Period. Doesn't say PS3 is wack or that it's not a gaming machine. It just says certain people prefer Natal over Sony's Motion. The PS3 can't win every comparison.

And to make matters worse you are on here saying an incomplete tech will suck. It's not finished yet. So yes it will suck. No one can make a honest judgment about Natal until it hit store shelves. Utube videos of the unfinished Natal is not a medium to judge how the finished product will perform. Fanboys (on both sides) need to lighten up...some of you defend these consoles as if they are your girlfriends, or mothers or something. Fact is this poll ended in favor of the Natal and I'm sure there are other polls that favored PS3's motion. Just relax and play a game.

The one thing that might get me interested in motion control is a remake of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Who cares. Dualshock 3 FTW! Seriously, motion controls are lame.

that is funnt because ive seen everything on natal on the eye toy

Natal didn't show anything solid. A system that is still in development.

"but...but... natal doesnt work so ha it doesnt work it doesnt work they are selling it and it doesnt work the move wins at outperforming and it works and its better hahaha rofl XD xbox sux lolz"

Thats pretty much half the comments here. Anyways, I always knew Natal would be better than Move. It is far more revolutionary.
"but wut bout teh 1:1 accureaueuauacy?"
I dont care about specs in gaming, I am only interested if its fun.

haha this article is so full of fail, natal is such a fail people are ashamed to mention it after the february showings, i mean come on ms just stick to software seriously, first rrod, then all the nasty e-errors, disk-scratching, now natal has teething problems and nappy rash??
the only thing natal wil exceed move at is how many people return it after buying it
infact the only people voting for natal are people who do not know about it's problems.

Casuals will always pick the most casual thing.

Sony's crowd could care less for move (we have real games, whereas 360 fans no this the 360's swansong. Of course there's more interest in natal.

Find out that Natal's processor is gone and find out about the lag.

Got to play this move with my girl. She likes a nice black pink head.

With all the hype that Natal is getting I'm not expecting much. Okay people see the Move as simply the WiiHD but if you want to make useless comparisons do you wanna compare Natal to what came before it? A little something known as the Eyetoy? Honestly I'm not 100% sold on motion Controllers, the Move is more believable and achievable, Natal is kinda out there but achievable. That was just a poll of people's opinions nothing more, nothing less doesn't prove nor say anything really important to me.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
