Project Natal — Hand Picked Games Only, As It’s Expected To Outsell Sony’s Arc

Aaron Greenberg, this dude from Microsoft, has said that the company will be very careful when creating games for Project Natal. When speaking with Destructoid, Aaron said that MSoft doesn’t plan to jump onto the game market, as they will first think about what should receive games.

“We are going to be very careful in the way we think about our portfolio for Project Natal,” he said. “One of the things that people have to realize, is that we could have done a motion controller [in the beginning] – but Project Natal actually makes all that technology disappear because it can see you, it can hear you, it can track all the points on your body.

“So now we have an entirely new way, where you are the controller. So this new category of controller free games category is going to bring about all types of new experiences that have never existed before.

“We want the first impression to be a great one, so we are not going to dump products on it just because we can. We are going to be very thoughtful about what we bring to market.

“Natal is one of those things where seeing is not believing. This is something that is really unique and special. It’s part of the reason why [magazines] like Time, Popular Science, and Popular Mechanics called it one of the top inventions of the year”.

It was announced that MTV Games are currently working on a title, and this follows news from EA and Ubisoft also working on their masterpieces.

Following the exclusivity, as such, is the news that Michale Pachter — an analyst — has said that Natal will sell 10 million units within the first year of launch. He also said that the Natal will out-sell PlayStation’s device about 5-to-1.

“A year or so after launch, there will be 10 million [Project Natal units] out there, which will probably attract more third-party support”, he said.
