E3 2009 : X-Box 360's Project NATAL gameplay footage

Microsoft has unveiled a new secret weapon at the E3 2009 conference: a motion-sensing system, known so far as Project Natal, allows the gamer to control the game without... controls.

This is an industry-changing innovation, if it works: the Wii wooed non-gamers with its un-geeky control system: imagine what happens when there are no buttons to figure out, and no wands to hurl through the screen.

 No release date has yet been announced.

Project Natal - that’s codename - will work with every 360 when it launches and will be available on all the new systems.
His demo included a real person named Clair interacting with a virtual boy named Milo. The boy recognizes the person talking to him, he responds with different emotions based on your facial expressions.

Just confused. Will this invention heavily contribute to the number of young pot-bellies and double-chins in this world or it works the otherway ?
