Microsoft is a HUGE company, I mean they employ thousands upon thousands of people, who's surprised that one or two of them happen to be pro-Microsoft?
I'm not defending this guy, he's clearly an idiot, but is there really a need to call out the conspiracy theories? The simplest explanation is usually the correct one - he's an idiot, he just happens to work for Microsoft. I'm sure the odd Sony employee has done the same, as have employees for all kinds of companies out there.
There was a story a couple of years ago about an IP from Redmond caught modifying Microsoft's own Wiki pages, but on closer inspection the edits were simple grammar and spelling changes, nothing positive or negative was added to the article. I don't see a problem with that (assuming its the same incident you're referring to).
To be honest, the graphics in both games (for me) are pretty damn good. Enough that I'm really not going to be bothered by the differences.
What it truly comes down to is the gameplay.
I'm not much of a racing game person. They're ok, but I tend to lose interest in them after a few races. However, Gran turismo was an exception for me, I played them to death and really enjoyed them. I didn't care if it was realistic, simulation or arcade fun (as someone who doesn't drive, I...
Remember, folks, it's not the size or shape, it's what you do with it...
The Wii's "hardcore" titles don't sell as well because any "hardcore" gamer is going to own a 360 or a PS3, not a Wii. With the likes of Natal/SMC (Sony Motion Control) there's a much higher chance of crossover, either a casual who tries out the harcore, or a harcore player who wants the cool accessory. I mean, I myself am in no way interested in most casual games, but if a good RPG or whatever came out that uses Natal, I'd give serious thought into picking it up.
People seem to want to rag on Natal and (to a lesser extent) Sony's Motion controller, but those same people need to see the bigger picture.
Look at the Wii, look at how its selling, look at the way it flies off of shelves, even today, despite being in almost every single way an inferior console to the PS360. How can you honestly expect Microsoft and Sony to ignore that?
But it doesn't matter if you like motion controls or not, it doesn't matter if you hate casual gaming or not,...
THat's because MN's post is only a summary of the announcements, not the announcements themselves.

Maybe YOU missed the part where they said they're ACTIVELY WORKING ON GAMES using Natal?
The open zone is over there ----->
That's a LOT of developers for "nothing" to come from it.
From a different article:
"Among the elite publishers actively working on games for “Project Natal” are Activision Blizzard, Bethesda Softworks, CAPCOM, Disney Interactive, Electronic Arts, Konami, MTV Games, Namco Bandai, Sega, Square Enix, THQ Inc. and Ubisoft. Together, these publishers account for more than 70 percent of third-party software sales for this generation of console and most of t...
That says more about the idiots who only read headlines and not the content.
Read my post above you. There's a link that tells you when it's starting in EVERY time zone.
Right, since there seems to be a lot of confusion, this should help -

Er no it wouldn't, not unless you're trying to say that GMT is somewhere in the middle of the USA?
And what time is that GMT?
When companies big stuff like this up, I've only ever set myself up for disappointment. Konami are the worst for this, with their "big" MSG announcements that amount to almost nothing. But I digress.
I don't know what this is or what it could be, but I wont be getting my hopes up, I'm already super excited for this game anyway.
The PS3 "Fats" are no longer being manufactured, it's all Slims from now on.
Comparing two games using trailer footage is silly. I'll wait until both games are out before trying to compare them, at least that way we'll know that no devious tactics are being used.
Wow, most of the idiots commenting here did NOT even read the article! These are JOB LISTINGS, Microsoft is looking to HIRE developers to work on Natal related things. Microsoft are a very good company to work for, they pay well and have many benefits, this is by no means "free".
I don't understand why people are so...against? Such a feature. Surely more features are a good thing? Even if it's something that you, personally, aren't that bothered about, it's still nice to know that it's coming, that your console is getting better and better with each update.
