Right, this is great and all, but what game did they play to show off these skills?? If it was spore, they probably spent less time "practicing moving their arms" and more time "on phone with EA support"/"in line at store refunds counter"... c'mon, lets report on the *facts* here slashdot!
Seriously? They've locked down that as an entire country, "people love angry-faced cars"...and they've discerned this by sampling...40 people? Well if that's the case then hey this just in, a survey of 40 people polled has determined that MSNBC/LiveScience.com maintain high levels of journalistic integrity...
Ridiculous. Look at the economics involing PS3

The 360 Is Too Cheap?

The author of this posting put so little time into thinking about his own question and the implications involved with it that it's an embarrassment this post ever made it up.
Without even delving deep into why it was priced as-was: PS3's coming out. Timing. Microsoft wants people to have their box on their cabinets *now*. Not just the gamers, they want to take over so that when the PS3 comes out, they will have already built up a market of people with their console. *Not*, jack up the price to get all the hardcore gamers, then have their price be lower later....At which point it'll be "time to buy" for the rest of the population just as the PS3 comes out. And then guess what, then the average buyer might just say "hey, screw Xbox360 I'm going to pay another hundred and get the hot-hot-hot latest-technology PS3, i'm no sucker!". Get them early and then instead of buying the competition's console, they already have yours so their basic-need is already satisified. Business is a game not an equation. The time advantage was huge and they executed properly.
