This year's E3 could easily have been dubbed "Battle of the motion controllers" with all three major console players either updating or presenting motion control hardware.

Microsoft certainly made the biggest buzz by presenting this as the next big thing in console gaming since the analog stick. Then they added some commotion on top of that by playing the 'this may be a new console' card every few days followed by a 'it won't be a new console, but it's still going to kick ass' statement only hours later.

Now it looks as though they are realy going to edge the competition by making Natal compatible with Windows. In an interview with Cnet, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said that the technology was not specifically made for the Xbox.I can just imagine all the time I could waste in my office with this technology!
