Comments on: When will we have Natal on PC? http://www.thenewflesh.co.uk/?p=46 Where old gaming news comes to die Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:42:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Jonathan Salisbury http://www.thenewflesh.co.uk/?p=46&cpage=1#comment-18 Jonathan Salisbury Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:50:28 +0000 http://www.persus-9.co.uk/?p=46#comment-18 Got to disagree with you there, just because it's USB doesn't mean it'll work with windows, pleanty of devices have USB connections but won't talk to windows without a third party device driver or extra software. If it's not a standard input device then it'll need it's own device driver and if microsoft don't release that device driver then it won't work. Alternatively if the interpretation of the data coming from the two cameras was done by software on the xbox rather than firmware in the device and microsoft didn't release that software for PC then it won't work, the quote rules that out of course but the fact it connects via USB doesn't automatically mean it'll be windows compatible. I can't see why there wouldn't be a lot of takers as well. After all the most rabid technophiles in the world own PCs and PC gamers are just as, if not more attracted to new shiny devices as anyone else. If Natal enabled software is released for PC then many PC gamers will want to have a go and since you can't pirate physical objects that means sales.
