In this way, developers can utilize it just like any other controller and without sacrificing the 360's computing power to do it. Specialized chips like that will not add much to the cost of the device. It will definitely be released at a reasonable price. |
I think what you missed was that the USB ports on the 360 connect directly to the CPU and GPU on the 360 already. So essentially developers can can ask Natals CPU and memory to take on some responsibility. I guess the article is saying there is that possibility as M$ made the 360 USB different from ALL other USB ports. So there must have been a reason? Also clearly if Sony's wands take up SPU's to work, then clearly 360 Natal games will LOOK better, as it adds processing power not taking it away.
