Pretty much what I expected. When they first announced Natal, they said it would be a complete package including 2 cameras, mics, and a chip to process all the information. I thought "bullshit, no way you are going to do all that for a reasonable, marketable price."

"The load previously handled by the chip now falls on one of the main three Xenon processors, but while taking a "percentage" of performance away from the system, most games don't use up 100 per cent of the available processing power anyway."
This leads me to believe that as much as a whole processor could be tied up doing all the processing for Natal. Let's face it, it's going to be very CPU intensive, much more intensive than anything the PS Eye/Gem and Wiimote are doing.
