Greenberg: We've got innovation with Natal, 2010 will be the biggest year in Xbox history

Aaron Greenberg has got some interesting words to say about the two new players in the motion-control game: Project Natal and PlayStation Move. And he's definitely not mincing any of it.

In an interview with The Bitbag, he expressed his opinions on a wide range of issues, from the comparison of Move and Natal, the sudden leap in Xbox 360's sales for February, and whether or not the Xbox 360 can handle at all God of War-like games.

Natal vs. Move

Xbox 360 has a strong history of innovation. Halo, Xbox LIVE and instant-on 1080p HD. With each of these, we had our sights set on the future – and it paid off for us, the industry and Xbox 360 owners. We are doing it again with “Project Natal” on Xbox 360.

We believe controller-free experiences are the future of gaming and entertainment. Only “Project Natal” makes YOU the controller, putting you in the middle of the action and in complete control. Jump and your Avatar jumps. Speak and characters respond. Combined with Xbox LIVE, “Project Natal” will transform how you connect with your friends, family and entertainment – as only Xbox 360 can do.

Xbox 360's February 2010 NPD results

I think it was a combination of our leading portfolio of exclusive blockbuster games, industry leading online experiences over Xbox LIVE and high anticipation for the release of “Project Natal” for Xbox 360. What makes us special is that we are doing all of this at a great value, starting at just $199. As you know, consumers vote with their dollars and these results are further proof that this will be the biggest year in Xbox history.

God of War III-like games on Xbox 360?

We have proved over the years, that all games can be realized on Xbox 360. Just look at titles like Final Fantasy XIII, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears 2, and Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360? These games and our leading online experiences demonstrate that Xbox 360 is the most powerful games and entertainment console in the market today.

What? how was halo (a shit fps), paying for online gaming (lol) and adding 1080p support because your direct competitor had it

innovation??

and now they've made a motion controller (strangly enough a new eyetoy) because nintendo did well.

innovation.... lol
The way they use words reminds me of politicians

nothing can beat ps3's games.
"God of War III-like games on Xbox 360?" we all saw the epic fail dantes inferno. if ms thinks they will beat ps3 by doing lil kids games like the wii they will crash n burn.

+10 # Wow....just WOW — Silver-Tiger 2010-03-12 05:03

This has to be the biggest BS a MS executive ever wrote. I can't believe how much BS is in this post.

"Xbox 360 has a strong history of innovation. Halo, Xbox LIVE and instant-on 1080p HD"
Innovtion? Where?
Halo? An Egoshooter. Yeah, we never had egoshooter before.
Xbox LIVE? Yeah, Xbox Live was the first service to offer online gaming. NOT.
1080p Streaming? Firstly, it isn't true 1080p, and secondly, this has been possible on PC for years.

"We believe controller-free experiences are the future of gaming and entertainment."
You are the only one to believe so.

"Only “Project Natal” makes YOU the controller.." EyeToy anyone?

" putting you in the middle of the action and in complete control."

So a Xbox 360 or PS3 controller only gave you half the control?

"I think it was a combination of our leading portfolio of exclusive blockbuster games..."
Which ones? Mass Effect 2? Yeah, sure, that was great, but that was the only one. And it was on PC, too.

"high anticipation for the release of “Project Natal” for Xbox 360."
Comsumers buying a 360 because of Project Natal, a system we haven't much information yet, yet alone any gameplay trailers and which is still over 6 months away? Get real.

"these results are further proof that this will be the biggest year in Xbox history." Both PS3 and Wii outsold the Xbox 360 for all last months. Now there are on top for one months and suddenly it's the biggest year for Xbo 360? Keep spinning the facts.

"We have proved over the years, that all games can be realized on Xbox 360. Just look at titles like Final Fantasy XIII, Forza Motorsport 3, Gears 2, and Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360? These games and our leading online experiences demonstrate that Xbox 360 is the most powerful games and entertainment console in the market today."

Of these 4 games, two are also on PS3, one is even highly superior on PS3, one is nearly 2 years old. So much to most powerful games.

geez,how MS define 'innovation'... i don't know about them but i know Xbox360 are far from being a powerful gaming machine.

"We have proved over the years, that all games can be realized on Xbox 360"

how about putting out some good games then? MS has the worst lineup of exclusives.

-1 # ha — Guest 2010-03-12 12:57

That's your idiotic opinion. Have you even played any of the exclusives? For more than 5 minutes? Grow up.

# -.- — splontot 2010-03-12 16:14

I have played them, the only 360 game I like is Gears.

"Have you even played any of the exclusives? For more than 5 minutes? Grow up."

You say that, but you're one of the people who has never really played any good Wii games, and just says they're all shit anyway, just like half of the HARDCOAR "gamers" on this site aren't you?

# Future of Gaming? — Guest 2010-03-12 11:59

I think that Natal would cool and fun for certain games, but I in no way see it as the future of gaming in the since of replacing the controller completely....the controller is awsome and has worked fine for 20 years and now its better than ever...I just dont see how playing halo by flaping around in front of a camera would be fun....Natal can bring new motion games and stuff and that could be fun...but to use it to play games that really need a controller would be stupid and really ruin gaming as a whole...for FPS i'd rather actually have a PS3 move or Wiimote in my hand than to try and hold my empty hands up in front of a camera and pretend I have a gun.......

# RE: Greenberg: We've got innovation with Natal, 2010 will be the biggest year in Xbox history — Guest 2010-03-12 12:19

I can't wait to get done with work and go home to play my 360!!!!!

# LOL — Guest 2010-03-12 12:53

just look at all these PS3 fan boys, nitpicking the 360. Hey PS3 users hows life without a party chat system?

# . — Guest 2010-03-13 10:59

..and why is that even needed? same with cross-game chat..whats the point?

# . — Guest 2010-03-12 12:54

I had a feeling the Playstation Fanboys would flock to this article. Halo DID change multiplayer gaming on consoles and Xbox Live DID create and set the standard for online gaming for consoles. I'd say that's innovation. Are you guys seriously STILL whining about $40 (Amazon prepaid card) a YEAR to use Live? How did you afford a PS3 in the first place? They were $600!!

# RE: Greenberg: We've got innovation with Natal, 2010 will be the biggest year in Xbox history — zzk2001 2010-03-12 13:09

Natal is Crap.. did anyone watch the E3 Demo? the guy trying to play the racing game could not control it LOL He keep crashing and the Controls was not 1:1.

Natal at best is just a Out of Date playstation Eye.

# ... — Guest 2010-03-12 13:28

Natal is just a copy of EyeToy !

# RE: ... — Guest 2010-03-12 15:25

If that's the case, then I can't wait to play with that glorified EyeToy! Any change to the EyeToy can only mean great improvement. Either way I can't wait to try it out, it looks amazing!

# RE: Greenberg: We've got innovation with Natal, 2010 will be the biggest year in Xbox history — Guest 2010-03-12 14:05

Playstation rulez, and xbox drules. Thtas all I have to say about that. ps3 is soooo much better than the 360 in every way. I'm really not biased, but I saw my friend play the xbox the other day and it looked so much worse than the playstation grafics. and this new NAZAL project looks very week compared to the ps3 motion thingy. ps3 is definetly better choice, trust me, i'm very nowledable in this area. i owne a playstation 3 and i'm extremely proud of it. And no matter what anybody says about the 360 I will always stick with the playstation!

# Natal is better — Guest 2010-03-12 16:14

If natal is a copy of eye toy then wheres the voice recognition also so what if you have to pay for live, Sony dont care about modding or glitching. M$ actually cares about that. CoDMW2 suks anyways with all that. The rrod thing is finally over. and has anyone noticed that some games glitch just because of updates on psn. the party system is better than anything ps3 will make up. my brother had a ps3 he says its suks.
PS3 = Graphics
Xbox 360 = Gaming
figure that one out!

+1 # yea? — zzk2001 2010-03-12 17:50

The RROD is over.. really lol last time i checked people are still getting it Just as much as before, A friend of mine has done had 4 RROD and each time he would get newer models so don't go around saying RROD is over

As for saying 360 has better gaming I think your way off, I have seen way more games worth playing on a PS3 then 360 plus the fact that 90% of everything is On both systems.

I think the big problem is Lack of knowledge, 360 owners just look at 360 stuff so they think there is nothing good on other systems Or when they See games on Tv it says Xbox on it because M$ forks out the extra cash to make it say that even thou it's a game on All platforms.

But really i guess it's all in the User and how they see stuff and what games they like.
Like Me i hate 3D movies or Games and don't understand why anyone likes it But that's just me.

# RE: yea? — Guest 2010-03-12 19:42

Well said. ps3 is soooooo much better in every aspect. xbox doesn't have any good games! the RROD just goes to show you that it cant handel the already crappy games designed for the sistem. It doesnt have enough power to handel demanding grafics.
You say that the ps3 has way more games worth playing! Well I think the xbox doesnt have any that are worth playing. it suks!!!
ps3 FOREVER!!!!!

# God Of War like titles? — Guest 2010-03-12 17:02

What the heck is a God of War III-like game? What, a third person beat em up? I don't get it.

# lol — Guest 2010-03-13 00:26

2 multiplats and one inferior to gt5 wow what a sad list.

# RE: Greenberg: We've got innovation with Natal, 2010 will be the biggest year in Xbox history — Guest 2010-03-13 16:49

not to mention fm is an inhouse original franchise they didnt buy the rights to

# rightly said — Guest 2010-04-12 07:34

I'm fell that this is in fact under the employment of Microsoft. Paid to enter forums and narc on Xbox related posts in order to boss the gimmick by comment count thread and thrusting the posts further into public view....i have found some good reviews in http://www.dozensports.com

# RE: Greenberg: We've got innovation with Natal, 2010 will be the biggest year in Xbox history — Guest 2010-04-29 01:21
