I'm not at all into that kind of gaming (jumping around in your living room) but they are exactly copying the style of Nintendo's Wii advertisements, even that game character looked like a Mii. I'll give them the cold shoulder as usual. Besides, "Natal" sounds like "Nadal" the guy who just lost the French tennis open.<br />Coincidence?
