Microsoft: Natal could replace the remote control

Hey, like that remote control you use to change your channels? Well, Microsoft is convinced you won’t need it anymore soon, or so says Xbox Live general manager Marc Whitten when discussing the Natal.

Talking at the Streaming Media West show recently, Whitten described the increasing number of 360’s video applications as the “biggest surprise” of his job. “With the flick of my wrist I can change a channel,” Whitten said. “With the power of my voice I can start a movie.”

He added: “I don’t believe we are currently in the golden age of the television or the golden age of the game console or the golden age of the Internet; frankly, five years from now I don’t know that you’ll be able to tell the difference between those worlds.”
