it's all speculation, by an Aussie reporter, that it MIGHT be beneficial to disabled gamers.<br>
according to tfa, he speculates, that since it's supposed to work with partially obscured body parts, eg. swinging an arm behind someones back, it might also be usable to amputees.

The original Xbox was a real money sink, but it was a way to get a foothold in the console market. Now the Xbox 360, while still outpaced by the Wii, is the real deal and a money maker for Microsoft. Moreover, despite being the oldest console, its growth keeps increasing over the past 2 years.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>For such a positive article, there are nothing but negative comments... Its good to see that technology made for gaming can in turn be used to help the disabled. For all the bad press games/gamers get, there is now something really promising that we can say came from gaming. Natal, if it turns out as well as they claim it will, is a impressive piece of technology. To reach a broad audience it will have to be affordable. Makes you wonder what the comments would be like had Sony, Apple, IBM or any other company for that matter had created it.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Im sorry but the mods need to stop smoking crack. How is an offtopic troll thread "interesting." The story is about a piece of hardware being used to help the disabled. HOW does that involve the Xbox 360's success/failure. HOW does it relate to what the xbox 360 components are. If EyeToy was so great why did it not have the same repercussions? It doesn't matter that the xbox is failing (even though the latest numbers put it in 2nd IN THE USA, not worldwide), it doesn't matter that microsoft keeps recycling old franchises, it doesn't matter that the Wii had motion gameplay first. This post DOES NOT RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE STORY. Therefore it is "offtopic."</htmltext>
