Project Natal From Microsoft: Wii needs an upgrade

Yesterday we revealed the big announcement from Microsoft about ‘Project Natal’, their new motion control sensor which promises controller free gaming. Following on from this highly impressive bit of kit from Microsoft, how will Nintendo and their Wii console react?

You can catch up on the news about Project Natal here, just in case you missed it. It’s even worth reading again, just to get your head around the idea of controller free gaming.

With the Nintendo Wii already on decline prior to this announcement, this is surely going to get those heads scratching at Nintendo. If Microsoft promise everything seen in the Project Natal tech demo, Nintendo will not be able to compete with that, surely?

Well then again, Nintendo’s press conference is due this afternoon, so many they have some shocks in store for us too. We’ll have to wait and see.
