Microsoft has stepped into Wii territory with their version of motion control gaming and from what I’ve seen so far Xbox 360 Project Natal makes the Wii look very last century. With Project Natal you use your whole body as a controller without holding onto any controllers. Everything is done with body motion, or by voice commands.
Project Natal Features:
Voice and body control
Face recognition which allows for automatic log in
Control menu options with hand motion
No controllers needed, whole body motion detection
Coming to Xbox 360 soon
Project Natal was recently envied at E3: 2009. The team showed off a early prototype demo of how Project Natal works. Check out the video to see how it all works.

If you were playing a game like golf wouldn’t it feel more natural to hold onto the controller while swinging like you would on the Wii. Will you hold your hands like a gun when you play shooter games or will they come out with some gun accessory, but their whole thing is “no controllers needed”.
