Project Natal for Xbox 360 to retail as Kinect

article published on 14 June, 2010

Microsoft has reportedly confirmed that the Project Natal motion sensing system for the Xbox 360 console, first announced at last year's E3 event, will retail as "Kinect". The new name surfaced online on Sunday night with most sites pointing back to a USA Today article that was taken offline but it has since been confirmed.

I haven't actually seen any of the videos, except for the demo, and I don't even know how Natal is pronounced. Is it like nay-tul, or is it like natal(ie)? Kinetic, I get.

Most people pronounce it Nay Tal. The easiest way for me to clarify how to pronounce it, and this is right from MS conferences. Nah Tal. Or for those who need better clarification: pronounce each a as you would saying ass. Natal = Nah Tal = We know its a$$.

Well no one knows what a "Natal" is, and that was likely an internal name for the project. "Kinect" is a marketing term and you have an idea what it does just by the name. Good move I think, but I don't see this catching on; it will be another Eye Toy or DDR pad for the 360.

I just got done watching the E3 demo and it was pretty awesome. Kinect looks pretty cool. Especially the Star Wars thing. I also love the new design of the 360. I plan on getting one asap. With it being the same price as the original, why not? They said it's "whisper" quiet, 250gb hdd and built in wireless-n. And it's all black and a lot smaller. In the demo they had the shell of the original 360 covering it. For $299.99 it's definitely worth it. Finally seems like Microsoft is getting their sh!t together. Can't wait to get my hands on the new 360.

Anyone who buys the new 360 when they already own a working old 360 is just plain stupid sorry but it does nothing new so why pay for the same thing again?

Kinect seemed like an advanced eye toy to me I was unintrested in any of the games until they showed the star wars one, became very intrested then until I realised you cant run around in it then lost intrest again, overall after being very excited about e3 I cant help but feel very disapointed so far. The only things that looked any good (reach, gears and black ops) were things we already knew were coming.

But hey thats just what I think

I gotta say, this just looks really gay. Getting up and shaking my ass while playing as a groovy snowboarder is the exact opposite thing I want to do when I get home. At least the Playstation 3 one coming actually has a nice look to it.
