What I would prefer for this is for games (and hardware) to be developed that can track the gun so that when you have it held a certain way, the avatar holds it down. in the tf2, he is holding it pointing at the floor but the game avatar is pointing it forwards, and when he lifts it up the avatars arms don't move or anything, it would feel weird to me.

its very possible to embarrass yourself in private- which is the main reason the eyetoy and kinect sold poorly

Meh. Give me a controller or a keyboard and mouse any day. This could get physically tiring after a while and you might not be as precise.

So did the Eyetoy, I think. It certainly didn't sell poorly.
