Supposedly (don't hold me to this, I forget the source), they're going for "forwards compatibility." Once the new system's dev kits make their way to developers, there's supposedly a format to do software that will run on both 360 and the new hardware, with more features and detail on the newer hardware. The idea being to continue support for 360 owners into the next generation, essentially the opposite of what Sony has done with PS2 compatibility.


As far as Natal is concerned, I'm very concerned. Has anyone considered the implications of such an intelligent camera (moreso than the regular one they have), placed where it can watch your family?
