At this year’s E3 Conference, Microsoft garnered a lot of press with the unveiling of Project NATAL, a motion sensing utility seemingly ripped from Minority Report but owing just as much inspiration to the Nintendo Wii. At the same conference, Sony displayed their own version of the Wiimote, with their own thus far no-name brand of waggle wizardry.
The message was clear – while the two behemoths offer up powerhouse pixel-bursting consoles, they clearly lag behind the lower-powered Wii which th... Continue reading »
