Microsoft's Marc Whitten sees Natal replacing television remote controls
Aside from the more obvious implications to television using technology that can interpret voice and motion, he sees a future where Natal will recognize individual voices in a room and allow for a variety of human input – from "laughter" to "the number of people in a room" and everything in between. "Watching a movie is a passive input, but a TV should understand what you're trying to do." We don't know about you, Marc, but we're a bit worried about the implications of our television understanding what some of us are trying to do.

@Dukey You are not going to be able to play assassins creed or mirrors edge on natal lol. It's just special games they make to go with it xD
Natal could take over the remote control but I doubt it, a remote is alot cheaper I bet :P
