Project Natal - All hype, no inovation?

Hmmm....no processor in the Natal hardware?
The gadget-freak in me feels let down.
I wonder how much the release version will differ from what we saw at E3.

As far as processing power and graphics are concerned, I am guessing that
many of the Natal titles [some of which might come out on XBLA] will be aimed at those who don't take their gaming
quite so seriously and that they might be similar to the games on sees on the Wii,
only in HD ansd with better motion control.

NATAL is a add-on its up to the developers to decide how their games will look like when they use the NATAL feature with it.

I think phoenix was referring to the removal of all Natal processing to the Xbox itself. This is going to impact the graphics potential of Natal titles.

“Natal has to work on the existing hardware without taking too much hardware processing away from the games developers,” noting that Natal consumes between 10 to 15 percent of the Xbox’s computing power.
