First-party studios also 'very focussed' on Natal.
Microsoft's motion controller, Project Natal, has the backing of up to 80 per cent of the world's publishers, Microsoft's Robbie Bach, president, Entertainment & Devices Division, has revealed to financialpost.com (via cbc).
"We have something like 70 or 80 per cent of the publishers in the world already doing Natal-based games. Our first party studios are [also] very focused on this," said Bach. "We want to have a few titles from Microsoft that show the way and then we want the breadth and power of the ecosystem from our partners to bring lots of new ideas, new innovations, new concepts to the marketplace."
Bach also moved to reassure Xbox fans that the introduction of Natal in holiday 2010 won't bring about an end to traditional Xbox games.
"Xbox games don’t go away; you have to think of all this as additive. I think it adds to the beauty of what’s going on," he concluded.

If MS can get SEGA to make a good Sonic game they could combat the plumbers. Whats stopping Nintendo doing a MS and allowing their games to be released on 360 just like MS did with Rare and the DS. Can't see it happening but don't discount it. I mean there is supposed to be a massive rivalry between MS and Sony yet are working together to advertise Windows 7 and the Sony Touch Tablet. I still don't discount a single console release from the two next gen.

I think Microsoft have finally done something to earn a bit of respect though guys, we have to give it where it's due.

Course the only other games that spring to mind at the moment are Table Tennis, Beaterator and Manuhunt.
The biggest strengths of Natal will be it's use in conjunction with some form of controller if you ask me. I mean any object it can recognise can become a controller. Toilet roll tube becomes baseball bat?
Imagine a game like Scribblenauts where you use everyday objects in your house to solve puzzles. There's oodles more potential than simple recognising body movement.
