Natal Xbox 360 Technology

The Natal Xbox Sensor Bar is going to change the way we communicate with our gaming consoles. It looks like this new technology is going to revolutionize the gaming industry. The word on the street is that the new Natal Xbox Camera will be available around Nov 2010. It seems that Microsoft is delaying the launch so that the game developers can create some really cool games for it. The rumor is that there will be around 14 games available that will work with the new Natal Xbox sensor device at launch. One site has Microsoft estimating 5 million of the Natal Controllers ready for shipping on day one of launch. If that is the case then they better keep the price around $80 bucks. If the price point is set at $150 then the 5 million target is going to be hard to reach.Natal Xbox 360

With controller free gaming you don't just control the superhero, you are the superhero.

  • Natal Xbox Camera Sensor – The Natal Camera Sensor is the world's first system to combine an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi array microphone and custom processor running proprietary software that brings the Natal experiences to every Xbox 360 console. The Natal Xbox sensor tracks full body movement and individual voices, creating controller free fun and social entertainment available only on the New Natal Xbox 360.

It seems that the Natal Xbox Games are going to be a lot better that the Wii weeble character looking games that are currently out there in the market place. I know that I personally have lost interest in the Wii console just for that reason. Just by looking at the Natal for Xbox Game Demos, I think that Natal is going to leap frog the Wii system games even with their initial mix of games at introduction. The Natal Xbox Games should look more realistic in nature which will create a lot of excitement and this will help ease early adoption of this new technology for Microsoft.
