Along with all this hardware, it's got a ton of software that tells the Xbox how to find your body's various joints (it tracks 48 of them), how to keep track of multiple players at the same time, how to tell your Hawaiian shirt apart from the colorful wallpaper behind you, and so on. Microsoft even did an acoustic study of living rooms, so Project Natal can tell...

While we remained concerned about the Chinese government’s human rights record and its occupation of Tibet, we did not find calls for a boycott of the opening or closing ceremonies to be justified.
