Natal & Xbox 720

The reason Natal is going to use the Xbox CPU is because the Natal has always been planned MORE for the 360's successor than the 360 itself. When the new Xbox comes out in 2010/2011 it will have the xtra horsepower to run the Natal and hardcore games at the same time. The 360 is just a testing ground for the Natal!

You just made up the name XBOX 720, but are talking of it as though it were fact.

Another thing I'm puzzled about what you said is that Natal is intended for XBOX 360's successor (whatever they decide to name it) but Natal is being released this years holiday season...on the XBOX 360.

will people do there research YOU ARE ON A GAMING WEBSITE there will be no new xbox untill 2014 at the earliest and stop calling it 720 there has been absolutly no hint that it will be called that and microsoft have said they would like to see the life of the 360 see 2015. and natal is coming out this year because its designed for the 360 NOT its successor. its all on THIS SITE :twisted::roll::twisted::roll::roll::twisted:

sorry for sounding so aggressive but the first few posts i have read today had people moaning about games they did'nt like ( well don't buy them then ) and people not being able to look past the forums and as already stated do there research:D

The XBOX 3 will be with us I think in 3 years. So 2013. But yes, I will agree that Natal may be testing to see whether Microsoft will implement it from the beginning in the XBOX 3.

Since when was there a new xbox confirmed?

But i can almost guarantee you that the new xbox wont be called 720. I bet my life savings

I can see where you are coming from but I doubt it will come out in 2010 ( the console) more like mid/late 2012 imo. It all depends on when Sony will release the PS4 as MS will want a year headstart again.guitarsrock4eva

Not to beat a dead horse here but Microsoft hasn't even started thinking about the next Xbox console yet, not with this economy. Natal is specifically for the 360 and a clear indication Microsoft wants to tap into Nintendo's market. The 360 isn't even half way through it's life cycle yet so please give that 720 talk a rest for the next 5 years or so.

I agree with most of what you've said, but.... you have got to be on crazy pills to think MS hasn't even started thinking about the next xbox console yet. Yeah it might not be here for a long time, but yeah they have been thinking about it. Testing the waters in architecture of it, demo'd pieces that may be going into it. To be fair, i'm pretty positive they been working on the next one since the current one launched. Considering that all of there competitors do that I'd say if they haven't been then they are behind and better get moving.

The term "testing ground" made me LOL. I think for obvious reasons.

The Xbox 3 probably is going to implement Natal technology, sadly. Can we have one company stick with traditional gamepads?

nah.

and it won't be called Xbox 720, Microsoft is better than most companies when it comes to a naming scheme.

I'm sure they'll try the joke again: I know why it's called the Xbox 720, you turn 720 degrees and walk away. Man, I can see that going down all over again lmao:)

Natal only uses 15 percent resources, Wii proved top-notch graphics aren't a necessity, so it doesn't matter, it could use 50-70 percent if need be.
