Natal bugging horribly?

by PrNatal Oct 11, 2009 5:20AM PDT

Hello guys )

Can anyone explain me this video:

http://prnatal.com/blog/?p=215

Is it some sort of fake video against Microsoft or is Natal really so full of bugs?

Does it matter?
by Jimmy Greystone Oct 11, 2009 6:02AM PDT

Does it matter? Last I knew, Microsoft and Sony were both still working on the Wii knock-off products. So, this video could be a fake, it could be real but from several months ago, it could be a lot of things.

It's not like products just come out fully formed inside a company. It takes time to work out the bugs. Until something has been officially released, it seems premature to make any kind of judgment on it.

Ah, ok

Hope they will fix it soon. I do believe in the future of Natal. Just that's a shame that such disastrous bugs were revealed to the public. )

I'm sure Sony's no better

I'm sure Sony's system is no better off, or at least had it's share of nasty bugs early on. Even Nintendo likely spent a lot of time perfecting the Wiimote, and I'm sure some of their early tests were quite disastrous.

In the end, it'll come down to what they finally release to the public. If it's a good system, it will likely do well in the market. If not, it will be quickly killed, and forgotten.

I know bloggers tend to have overinflated egos about their own importance and influence in the world, but even some of the most popular bloggers out there are really pretty inconsequential in the end. They might reach 10-15% of the total market segment interested in something like say Natal. Most of us really don't care that much. When it comes out, we'll take a look, but we're not all that interested in its development and evolution pre-release.
