There will be game boxes of 2 types. The standard we have now, and a new type maybe with Natal across the top of the box? Or whatever the actual name is when released. Whatever, I see 2 types of boxing. Yes to your question about developers. Because it will be clear that some games are Natal and some aren't. M$ are banking on Natal to be a success. Personally I believe it has already had more hype than when 360 was announced. I think everyone will have Natal, and developing wont be an issue when 360+ Natal is selling 5-600,000/ week after release. Yes I fully believe this scenario is going to happen. Also believe it will be viewed as the upgrade to Wii by casuals. Remeber they wont care as long as it simplifies controls and looks better on there new HDTV's they have. |
I am not talking about motion enabled games, obviously you will need Natal for those. I was referring to your comment below.
"If Natal has a decent enough CPU, games could take advantage of Natal's memory and CPU and not use any motion controls. Halo Reach?!"
You are implying that developers would leverage Natal's cpu/memory for core game development. That's just not practical. Natal would have to have a very powerful cpu and memory architecture for a developer to even consider it. That ties in to my questions about power/cooling systems. I think the OP is trying to turn Natal into something it is not.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
