Project Natal and the Sony Wiimote have been with developers for a while, and the world waits with a mixture of anticipation and dread for the unique games (as well as horrible shovelware) that the "new" technology will bring to Xbox 360 and PS3 users. Sega looks like it'll be among the first to announce motion control games for these systems, hoping to reveal the fruits of its labor early next year.
"We'd like to think that in early 2010 we'll be making announcements about both of those platforms," offers Sega boss Mike Hayes. "We have our ideas and we know what we want to do, but the technology is pretty new, particularly with Natal, so we've got to get to grips with the technology and see if it can do what we want it do.
"I kind of think of it as the land of bunsen burners and test tubes."
I can't wait for the inevitable bad Sonic the Hedgehog game that's going to be announced next year. It's going to be like clockwork.

And the raping of my childhood continues.
3D Sonic + Natal? ugh.........
Does anyone else think "Nah-tall" is a retarded name for a product? When I missed the MS conference, and heard someone call it "Nay-tal" I was like "yea, I can dig that".
@PJMan:
Sonic ran out of chances like 5 games back, and I'm pretty sure not even the most hardcore fanboys are crossing there fingers at this point.
And yeah, I don't see any good Sonic games coming from this. Although I still think Secret Rings was awesome.
"Nay-tal" is pronounced like pre-natal care :D
Nay (like a horse!)
Sonic and the Black Knight for 360/PS3, that would be nightmarish. MadWorld, though? Hmm.
Sonic's used up all his chances. If I gave him another one, I'd just be enabling him to hurt himself again.
Sonic has used up all his chances, it's a shame people keep buying these terrible games thinking somehow the next one will be better.
The game "Shadow the Hedgehog" destroyed any such illusion for me.

What are you talking about? I seriously have no idea....
