Anyone who attended E3 2009 will tell you that the most talked about event was the announcement of Microsoft Project Natal for the Xbox 360 by Steven Spielberg. Sony announced its own motion sensing gaming technology for its PS3 console but it failed miserably when it comes to news coverage that Project Natal easily captured. The main advantage of Project Natal over PS3′s Eye is the that Project Natal provides full body motion control and is controller free whereas PS3′s Eye uses controllers just like Nintendo Wii.
Comparing the two technologies it is not hard to imagine how games will be played in future and with games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and the the newly revealed Tony Hawk game Ride, its becoming more apparent that the video game market is starting to become saturated with peripherals.
Considering games like Madden NFL by using PS3 Eye the PS3 will be able drop your image into an NFL uniform as your team gets ready to move the ball forward. You hit the “X” button to snap the ball, run back with the controller in your hand, and quickly toss the ball (without letting go of the controller) to your receiver, who catches it as you go down under a pile of defenders.
In Project Natal as demoed by Microsoft, the company said you would be able to call out plays in football games. So imagine standing in front of the TV in a quarterback crouch, the roar of the Xbox 360 crowd ringing in your ears as you scream, “Red 35, Blue 22, hut, hut, hut!” Taking advantage of Natal’s 3D motion control sensing, you run back, leap over that Mac truck headed straight for you, run forward a bit, pull back your arm and toss the perfect spiral to Randy Moss who takes the ball to the end zone for a touchdown.
Which is better?
Project Natal as demonstrated without any controllers is definatly better but as Sony’s director of marketing John Holler claimed that Project Natal is reported to be suffering from “depth issues on the Z-axis.”

The day we will get our hands on these product we will update with a nice review.
Natal looks like a joke and looks to have very limited usefulness.
No buttons…less accuracy.
PS3 demonstrated it is useful in nearly any kind of game and very accurate… it will be able to do things the natal simply can not do.
Natal more advanced? Please.. the simple fact that it has no controller with buttons limits its uses drastically.
