Some of you may have heard the news or seen a demonstration video about Microsoft’s new motion sensor program for Xbox 360 that is deemed to blow the Wii away. Named Project Natal, this new program for the Xbox 360 takes the motion sensor experience to a whole new level: the use of our own bodies to control the game without the need to hold something such as the Wii controller.
Using cameras, and a microphone integrated in a sensor bar that mounts on your tv similar to Nintendo Wii’s, Project Natal can pick up on your voice, movement, and is even capable of indentifying different players that are playing.
Not only will Project Natal meet the needs of simpler based game players like the Nintendo Wii, but it will also be integrated into more graphically intense games such as Halo and Call of Duty in the near future. This may introduce a new perspective of gaming which will engage the hard core gamer on a whole new level.
Do you think Project Natal will be a great sucess? Tell me why or why not…

It will only be a success if the next Xbox comes with it built in. The Xbox 360 has about two years left before we move on to the next console, and people hate to invest in stuff that doesn’t last for very long.
But I hope it works well, I am excited about getting my hands on it.

Yeah I agree.. but I haven’t heard anything about a next console besides one article. I think the 360 should last at least another 2 years.
