What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It is possible that this is true. I don't know how well it will work. If they release Natal at a low price seperate it might catch on but I doubt that a lot of current owners will buy a whole new system for Natal.

All the demos I've seen show the Natal hardware attached to a (apparently?) stock 360. So hopefully it will be available separately.

I imagine any new release of the XBOX hardware will involve the usual specifications upgrade, obligatory to compete with the PS4.

You're probably right, although personally I've been wanting another one for the Netflix streaming and Media Center functionality. If they add Pandora support for Xbox Live then I'm sold.

I'll take a wait and see attitude. If the lack of precision is as bad as the Wii's then forget it.
