Many users are wondering whether or not we will have to purchase Natal for any upcoming titles. It lead to my question, do you think Project Natal should be forced onto Xbox users?
Thanks,

Personally, I think it should only be optional. Users should have the ability to choose, and some people can't have (or just don't want) a sensor like that on their tv/tv stand. Forcing users to get it is like saying "We're letting you play this new awesome game, but you have to use the power glove." Not that Natal is as phenomenally inept as the power glove, but the sensor can't possibly grasp everything, but even if it COULD, some people just prefer having a controller. Options are ideal.

I don't especially like it when new peripherals are practically forced onto current users. If the peripheral is forward thinking and will better the gaming experience, then I can understand, but I already spend enough to keep up with my Xbox. I mean $99 for wireless, $49 for a gold membership, $19 for a headset. Not to mention all the other goodies that can be purchased for those who are extra serious. I just think that revolutionary additions to game play need to be left to new systems, as part of the interface already. Need I point out the success of the EyeToy for Playstation 2? Natal would be much better if they waited and implemented into a new system, that way ALL the new games will be able to utilize it. Microsoft has a bad habit of rushing things. Thanks!

No I do not. I think the Natal is an innovative piece of technology and could produce some interesting features and add ons, but I link it to the DSi. I don't think players should be forced to upgrade to play games. It should always be an option. As of right now Natal doesn't appeal to me that much.

I think Natal should be a optional. It should be something that I have the choice of whether or not to add. With so many games that have already been released that will not be compatable with Natal, it would need to be an optional item like the messenger kit. That way you can use it if you want to, but you can always have the option of just using the controller. I think optional is always the better choice, because you will have those who want to use it and others who do not.
What are some of your game suggestions?
