I'm a little bit confused. Natal will work on current Xbox 360 consoles ? Like Falcon, jasper etc ? Or Microsoft will release a new revision for Xbox ?
Microsoft drops internal Natal chip

GamesIndustry.biz has learned that Microsoft has dropped a chip from its forthcoming Natal motion control system as the platform holder eyes accessible price points in the build-up to release later this year.
The chip, which was responsible for processing information for the Natal's 'bone system,' has been removed in favour of a software solution.
However, development sources have indicated to GamesIndustry.biz that the change doesn't have an effect on the existing system lag of about 100ms, while a software solution should enable Microsoft to update the system more quickly and regularly than a hardware solution, meanwhile hitting a previously-speculated price point of sub-USD 50/GBP 50 - although this price rumour has already been scotched by Microsoft's Neil Thompson.
The load previously handled by the chip now falls on one of the main three Xenon processors.
The removal of the chip almost guarantees that non-Natal games won't be patched to include motion control support, a point previously outlined by Microsoft Game Studios' Kudo Tsunoda.
in other words , they dropped the chip to make it more shitty (more money for them) and add more fucking stress on the xbox360 and force you to have this CAMERA plug in constantly on LIVE to download Bios updates
