Project Natal: Future Gaming Technology For Game Lovers

Project Natal: Future Gaming Technology For Game Lovers

Project Natal was the code name for the device that is now known as the Kinect for the Xbox 360. It was first released in North America on November 4, 2010. Wii 2.0 is at the moment called the Wii U, it has yet not been released, but at the moment is on schedule to be released by holiday season 2012. The largest difference between the two is that one is an accessory for a current generation system, and the other is a next generation console. 

The Kinect for Xbox 360 is an accessory for Microsoft’s current console. It allows you to control games with no controller at all, since it uses a camera to track your body movements.

The Wii U is Nintendo’s next generation console that has not been released yet. It’s main attraction will be a special controller that has a built in touch screen to interact with games.

The difference between these two is that it seems that Kinect and the next Xbox will become the better system for motion control. It is still unknown if the Wii U with its revolutionary controller will be great, since this is something that has not been done in the gaming industry yet. We will have to wait until holiday season 2012 to find out.
