I have read that Natal version 2 is already being planned. If true then Microsoft is more than likely to set the next Xbox to launch with Natal version 2. Don't know exactly when that is just yet though as first one has yet to be released. More than likely 2012 or later though.

As far as Natal itself goes. I think its the less likely to succeed out of the three motion platforms. That is just me though and what I believe. You never know. I like Playstation Move better
