THQ core boss Danny Bilson has told GI that the publisher will support Sony’s wand-based motion tech and 360’s Project Natal from day one.
“We’ll be there at launch with some very friendly titles for the first audience who will adopt that stuff, which is families,” said the exec.
“The technology is really excellent, for both Xbox 360 and PS3, so now it’s all about the creative versus the business model. What’s the installed base like and how much can I spend against those? Of course at first you’ll see games that cost less money, but as the installed base grows we’ll do more robust stuff.”
Full interview through there. Neither system has a launch date as yet.

Will families really be the first people to adopt this stuff? I’d have thought it’d be “early adopters”… y’know the “hardcore”…

They’ll have to remove that ‘don’t try this at home’ warning off the wrestling games.

It depends on what games they launch with. If Natal launches with Halo:Reach and head tracking the hardcore will be all over it. If it launches with a bunch of mini-games then it will be the same sort of people which bought EyeToys.

they will go hardcore for sure to save their reputation, then when they won’t be selling as much as the Wii they’ll switch to minigames

THQ supporting them from lauch? i can guess that the titles they will have on offer will be as un-impressive as Cars: Race’o'rama – http://www.thq-games.com/uk/game/show/5470/Cars%20Race-O-Rama
Honestly, can anyone see the supporting lauch games for either Natal or the PS3 variant being anything other than nicer looking 3rd party Wii efforts.
I will be completely surprised if not.
