Have not seen anything on this and I guess that is what my earlier rants were about. This is all pre beta stuff. They introduced the technology and now it has to be out into games. Could make a huge difference in how games are played. In the mean time the new Tiger Woods Golf 10 with a new motion sensor for the Wii is introduce this month for $59.95.
Being a geezer, I have seen this all before. This tactic was invented almost 50 years ago by IBM and became knows ad FUD. The way it works is that the perpetrator responds to real competition by issuing prospective announcements and demos of things that might be. They are vague about dates and vague about prices and as vague as possible about features (letting people's imaginations fill things in). This causes people to not buy the competing product in expectation of the promises made by the perpetrator. Whether or not the perpetrator eventually delivers does not matter. All that matters to the perpetrator is that they depressed the sales of their competitors.
