According to THQ core games vice president Danny Bilson, the publisher has a $40 million Natal game on the back burner, but will only proceed with the project should the controller’s installed base grow to a justifiable level.
“I have some concepts and some ideas that use Natal in a core game in a really, really cool way,” Bilson told CVG
He added: “I don’t think the experience with the technology is there, I don’t think the install base is there because the game I’m thinking about is a $30m/$40m Natal game and the install base isn’t there yet to support that. The concept I have uses every corner of that tech and maybe in a couple of years we’ll do it.”
He concluded: “I think we have to wait a little bit just for the install base to justify spending a ton of money. Because my idea is a really expensive idea.”
Natal is scheduled to launch this Christmas for Xbox 360.
