4.  Too soon to tell.  There are still a lot of questions regarding how MS' motion controls will work.  But frankly I doubt it'll happen. Most 3rd parties have yet to really have a great showing with their games on the Wii.  None of them will be too quick to jump over to share a game that will have an extremely limited userbase for quite some time.

What if MS had a mandate that all games from 2010 onwards had to support it in some form? New controls aren't that hard to incorporate right? It depends on the level of complexity they are going for? I agree on the killer app though. It needs to be a game attractive enough, bundled with it for low prices.

Damn you guys are cynical. What if MS did a new slimmer 360 that came with the camera? And stopped producing the old models? So its the exact same console in a fancy new shell that still works with all your exisitng games but also has this camera as standard to start building an install base?

Cynical?  When has any add-on controller or peripheral sold by the console manufacturer actually taken off?  Particularly when it has ripped off their competition (though we'll have to wait and see what it looks like).

At absolute best this will manage to be comparable to the PS2's eye toy. i.e. may get a few sales, but nobody ultimately cares.

I'm just saying you got to give it a chance. Be optimistic man. You never know what they are cooking up or how they are going to push it. I'm looking forward to it.
