Interaction between player and console games has recently evolved from using physical controllers to using natural user interfaces. To what extent has this evolution improved interactivity and what does this change imply for the future of console gaming?

"The pad allowed for 8 directional movements, and featured 2 action buttons. Two smaller buttons were incorporated to start, pause, and select game play options. The pads were designed to be small enough to easily fit in a child's hands."
== Issues ==
"While testing out the Kinect, two dark-skinned GameSpot employees experienced problems with the system's facial recognition abilities. The system recognized one employee inconsistently, while it was never able to properly identify the other despite repeated calibration attempts." B Sinclair, 2010
