XBox Gamechanger, Project Natal

Comments

natalFrom the latest E3 announcements - Project Natal - where “You are the Controller.”  In an effort to blow past the Wii accelerometer, Microsoft’s anti-controller approach literally changes the game on console gaming. Many believed that Microsoft and Sony Playstation would have to merely copy the Wii remote to stay competitive, but with this latest “Minority Report” like gameplay (”sans remote”), one wonders if there is a competitive next step or manuever possible. With Spielberg as part of the E3 Announcement - the same Spielberg who partnered to create “Boom Blox” with Nintendo - the only issue now is workability - will the device match the demo?

Per SAI comments: Natal motion control has a special non-light sensitive sensor, an RGB sensor, a depth sensor, a multi-array microphone and a special processor, and will be packaged with future Xbox consoles. Definitely a very competitive game-changer to the Nintendo Wii.
