So much for that being the reason to buy an Xbox 360.

Who brought a 360 for Project Natal again?

And since MS uses PC, this doesn't surprise me.

They both are worthless. It's difficult to determine which is worst. Probably Home as Natal looks ok at first glance.Firelore29

People will buy a 360 for Natal regardless if its on the PC. People bought the PS3 for Blu-Ray and its also on the PC.

Blu Ray not an exclusive to the PS3! So much for that being the reason to buy a PS3.

360 controller can be used on the PC! 360 controller no longer an exclusive to the Xbox 360! So much for that being the reason to buy a 360.

Who cares? Natal on PC would be used more for multimedia and communication (especially by corporate users) than gaming.

Blu-Ray was not on the PC when it was in a ps3. MS has a feeling Natal will not "do so well" alone on the 360, which is why they are announcing its also coming to PC.

exactly. I can see it being used for presentations so they don't need a mouse or other hand held device.

and at home it would control the media pc.

I'm telling you right now every single game that Microsoft develops for Natal on the 360 will end up on the PC as well. What's the benefit to buying it on the 360 at that point? You would probably get more benefit from it on the computer anyways.

Exactly.

Maybe so, but how is Natal and Blu Ray the same thing? I mean fair enough if we dont get the natal games, then you have a point... but if we do... its totally valid.

According to the link, it said nothing about games, there might be games for it on PC, but as of now, it's not happening.

I hope Natal flops if it's just another gimmicky, slow reactive, motion controller. I'm yet to see any reason to welcome it.

this thread is late to the party. There is ready as an exact same thread like this already.

Xbox360 and Windows PC share many things in common already if some people havn't noticed.

It's already a given how come games still sell on the Xbox360 then, even if it's on the PC as well?

Microsoft benefits from this as Windows and the Xbox360 OS play major roles for Project Natal.

The Xbox360 is part of Microsofts's "Ecosystem" of devices with the Winodws and Live being central.

i.e. Live aware, Windows Live, Xbox Live, Mobile 7 and Zune Market.

Xbox360 also acts as a proper Media Center extender-It even shows it as an option on the NXE dashboard.

Al this has been explained in the previous thread.

Cows think this is ownage, but in fact all it does is cement the exclusive arrangement between Windows and the Xbox360.

Eindows will of course benefit from this, but Microsoft will also encourage those users that the games for Project Natal can also ne found on consoles. guess which one.

And the point of this topic is?DarknessLion

the point of this topic is that TC and Cows are trying to claim ownage as they think this will detract overall from the Xbox360. What they don't realise is if they get Project Natal on the PC it just further contributes to it's success and adoption.

Project Natal is Microsofts device and has applied various Patents.

If Project Natal can work very well for the Xbox360's O.S. it will of course work for Windows.

The marketing alone for Project Natal will refer to one another.

Xbox360 and Windows PCs are not indirect competition with each other, but have an exclusive arrangement.

If this relationship didn't work out for Micrososft , then there wouldn't be that many games bought for the Xbox360.

Yea this might be half way decent ammo on "system wars", but in the real world the 360 is a microsoft platform and the great majority of pc's are a MS software platforms. Of course MS will share applications and games between the 2 systems to maximize profitability, why wouldn't they? Then again you are right it's no longer exclusive for this forum's purposes, realistically it's a big win for MS.

Games games games. All that matters. Microsoft is heavily pushing Natal for the 360. The fact that Bill Gates had to come out and say, "Hey, this thing can be used for the PC, too!" doesn't exactly make it look like Microsoft cares all that much about whether or not PC developers use it. No incentive to develop = no games. EDIT: The "Blu-Ray analogy" is accurate. Blu-Ray is available to use for PCs, why is no one developing PC games in Blu-Ray? I mean, the fact that PCs can have Blu-Ray would on paper be damaging to the PS3, but when there's no confirmation of practical application (and, again, no incentive or need to use it) does it really matter? The answer is no.

What... so you're saying if PS3 didn't had a blu ray player... nobody would of purchase it?

no im not, im just saying that just because tech is on multiple products doesn't make it fail or diminish a reason to buy the product. Ex. Natal on 360 and Blu Ray on PS3, both of those techs can be used on PC's but it doesnt diminish a reason to buy a 360 or PS3.

so what. H has more insode information then any of us here obivously. He is still privy to details within Microsoft since he is a co-founder and I'm fairly sure he has sunbstantial stakes and stocks in Mircosoft.

So do Cows actually think that this "revelation" will detract and be the downfall of the Xbox360 or something?

Games, software and hardware between the two is nothing new. The Xbox360 still sells heaps of games. Cows didn't notice that this generation?

exactly and its this mentality that os going to push Project Natals success on the Xbox360 and work purposes on Project Natal PC.
