Who said Microsoft doesn't innovate. I watched the Microsoft E3 press conference today and was impressed with many of the things they showed, until the last 20min , when I was totally amazed.
$1:
Microsoft has made a bold play by announcing a 'controller free' Xbox experience called 'Project Natal' using full body motion capture and voice recognition offering a jaw-dropping concpet of the future.
Natal, which will work with all current Xbox 360s, is a revolutionary 3D motion sensor that incorporates voice recognition, ending what Microsoft termed 'the barrier of the controller.'
Steven Spielberg was on stage to support the project – which was not given a launch date.
Project Natal could blow the Wii's control's out of the water if Microsoft can pull this off with the aplomb they say they will. According to this guy: http://gadgetblogger.weebly.com/blog.html ,it has a solid chance of redefining gaming altogether.

I'll admit, the technology is off the hook, but I also have to say it looks stupid too. Give a controller with buttons any day, so I don'y have to flail my arms around like I'm having a seizure.
