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. 

 

 


Even if it's a single core CPU say 2ghz from yesteryear, it's still going to add performance. And say even an extra 128mb of ram would help indeed. More res on textures. 1080p 60FPS with ease becomes a reality. And if the dev uses no motion but use the CPU and Ram, the box would still be a Natal box. After all cooling for a CPU like I described would be vey easy nowadays. It's just a bit more oompf.

You are describing an engineering nightmare.  



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
