4. Vocal recognition out of the box. If Natal is there, developers know that this capability is there. Vocal recognition is not new, but having it standard and universal is a major thing. No need for an internet connection to download a patch to allow for this functionality. They also will have an SDK for this so no need to either develop the software or purchase third party software. Having a universal and standard system for vocal recognition makes it easier and more likely for developers to utilize it. Even if only playing with the controller games can make use of this.

I wonder how non-English speaking people will be treated. Will there be a possibility to speak in Swedish and get the Natal to understand. If not it will alienate a lot of people.

 

I am sure they just provide the tokenizations of syllables as output from Natal.  It is up to the developers to utilize the tokens.  Providing a dictionary for tokens inside of Natal would probably be too much memory.  This is a much more open way of doing things as well.
