Peter Molyneux: Natal ‘can be a bigger change’ than the mouse

Posted By | On 10th, Feb. 2010

In an interview with Gamereactor, Peter Molyneux shared a few tid bits on the possibilities of Project Natal. He said, “I’m enthusiastic about the change that Natal gives, if you’re thinking that Natal is going to give you another version of an FPS, you’re just not thinking broadly enough. After all, it was the invention of the mouse that gave us computing as it is today – not the invention of the microprocessor. That’s how we ended up controlling our PCs.”

“The mouse was the real revolution of the PC – not the Intel processor. And who’s to say Natal couldn’t end up creating something you and I can’t even imagine now. It forces us to approach technology in a completely different way. Before the mouse, we only had the keyboard.”

“That one 9.95 device changed everything about computing. And things like Natal can be a bigger change, but it’s hard to imagine.”
