Project Natal is, if you hadn’t worked it out by the whole “project” bit, simply a working title for Microsoft’s upcoming motion sensing peripheral. What’s its actual name? We don’t know, but we’re about to find out.
A report on Edge says that Natal’s final, actual name will be revealed as part of Microsoft’s E3 showcase. Which is a bit of a shame. Like Nintendo’s public code names, I’d grown quite attached to the whole “Natal” name, and will – for a while at least – have trouble calling it anything else.

So goodbye, “Project Natal”. It’s been an interesting eleven months. Especially so given the fact that, because I’m a bit of a Rugby fan, every time I say “Natal” I think of the South African province, and not a “birth” as it’s intended. Which is just…odd.
