Watch out Wii!

There is no doubt that the Wii has benefited from its lower price point and motion interactive controller. This has helped to push the Wii to shipping the most consoles out of the big three.

However, the Wii’s motion controller advantage may have just evaporated. Microsoft will be releasing an add on for its popular Xbox360 that removes the need for a controller entirely. That’s right, your body is now the controller. When this is released you may be able to shoot lightning out of your hand, use you hand as a gun, and do full body dodges and punches.

See this video of what they hope to do:

Microsoft also says that the Natal add-on will have facial recognition ability to sign you into Xbox Live as well as the ability to distinguish motion from multiple people for multiplayer support. You can see how this had the ability to change everything about playing a game and offer a whole new level of immersion (if it is accurate!).

There is currently no price or release date, but I want use this as soon as possible.
