New Xbox

The world of video gaming has come along way. From the beginning with Atari's world of pong to the Nintendo wii which has a whole new way of interacting with the system. The wii allows you to play along with an interactive controller. For example in a baseball game you swing the controller and your payer swings the bat. Will Microsoft has stepped there game up and they are now coming out with the Xbox Natal which surpasses the wii's ability to interact.

The Xbox Natal is really a new way to game and with this comes a new way to interact with your system. This new system has no controller, it makes you the controller. It has the ability to recognize who you are and what your doing. This new way of controlling your system leads to all kinds of new ways to play. Instead of swinging the controller you can scan your bat and the use your own bat. This allows you to use your own bat allowing for you to pretty much play the game without leaving your living room. This system has all kinds of new features.

The Xbox Natal allows you to video chat with your friends from your couch. The scanning system allows for a whole new way of sharing. Lets say you draw a picture and you wanted to show your friends. The Natal allows you to scan that picture and send it to all your friends. This system really is amazing and just goes to show how fast the technology is evolving. This has to make you wonder what they'll come out with next.

  1. This is interesting, I haven't heard anything about a new xbox. I'm excited to see what Microsoft has in-stored. I can't think of anything else they could do to make it better. Well unless they enhance the graphics.

  2. Now, many electronics are going to be multifunctional. I'm pretty sure that people can use an xbox as a camera now!

  3. I did not know about the new Xbox that was being developed either. I think it is great that the idea of an interactive gaming machine is being used. I also agree that gaming consoles, along with many other appliances are making older electronics obsolete. The part that really struck me about this new system, is the ability to scan you and let you play the game without a controller; these are amazing developments in the electronics field.
