Is Project Natal going to be any good?

After watching E3 I was extremly impressed by Microsoft's presentation. I was getting a bit bored until my favourite director Spielberg walked onto the stage hinting at a new Microsoft gadget.
MIlo was then showed off to the world by British company Lionhead. Somehow the woman playing this demo was able to hold a normal conversation with the boy through the game. Although critics have said, “What’s the point” you can’t say that isn’t cool.
Natal is actually able to map the body so you can use your whole body for a game. For example you can hold an invisible steering wheel stepping in and out to accelerate and brake respectively. Everything can become more realstic thanks to the full body control Natal has. This isn’t Nintendo’s attempt at motion sensing, this is full body motion sensing control. To make the games unique to each user, Natal can actually scan real life things so that you can use your own football or golf club.
If this is more than just hype then this is going to be huge. On top of this, at the recent Tokyo game show major developers such as Sega and Capcom have both announced their backing of the hardware and this is on top of all the other major developers which include EA, Activison and of course the expected Microsoft Game Studios who are headlining the stuff.
