Microsoft need to get this out soon. Like this christmas.

No way. Hardware can't be fixed with an update. If the camera's on Natal doesn't work out of the box (completely and perfectly), it'll never be anything more than a failure and it'll burn MS reputation as a hardware manufacturer (RRoD was bad enough)


I say give them as much time as they need. Also, Natal in the long term will give the platform legs (in terms of prolonged sales). If Natal works, and MS market it properly, it could be the next big thing and redefine certain (not all) genres. Xbox 360 is meant to go onto 2015 right? Natal launching later and being perfect (or close to perfect) will be more beneficial.

The Natal hardware does the processing on site and then transmits the results to the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 and developers only see Natal as another interface, it doesn't take up valuable processing power and therefore can be ported easily and even patched into older games.



Tease.

i cant blame the media, natal looks amazing. :)

Long way to go and they needed something to combat Sony's motion controller and soon to be released Wii motion+, otherwise they would have looked like losers at E3.
I'm not sure it will do much if it's an add on for the current xbox360, they should wait and make it THE big feature of their next console.

This has been in the works for years ....

Yes you're probably right, it's been in development since they saw the Wii-mote, erm i mean years. :P



yahoo and cnet
US media


How strange ....

Ive never seen the Natal being showed on CNN, or etc. Anyways Microsoft has said that Natal will come out late 2010, by then the PS3 would have already released their motion controller. I say Microsoft should just save this Natal for xbox 720. It would be very smart.

See thats the sort of publicity that Sony or Nintendo don't get so easily. I am talking about the corporate media.

Once something gets shown on CNN it has a much bigger impact then internet forums or blogs



 

It is better to die on one's feet

then live on one's knees

the concept is great, but MS is trying to do something that only Nintendo can do, only Nintendo could take full advantage of this kind of project

but the fact the youtube views are high mean real popularity and now, there's no way the Natal project to pass unseen

still, in order to have an effect on the console war it has to be a worldwide phenomenon like the Wii has been, i don't think Natal will have this kind of popularity, reason: Wii, Balance Board, WM+ and who knows what else until MS releases that thing....



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Yup that 6 months will be all it takes for the PS3 Motion control to take over.  To be honest if your going to release something like this what matters is getting it out for the holidays and having good software to launch with it.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
