Electronic Arts Also Considered NatalLike Technology

Following yesterday's revelation that Nintendo tried a technology similar to Microsoft's Project Natal, here comes the news that Electronic Arts considered a camera-based motion sensing technology too. Speaking to Kotaku, EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed that his company was looking at "the camera system they ended up going with."

" We almost invested to create a platform extension like that for some of the games we're working on, " Riccitiello said. " We're very pleased, frankly, that it showed up at Microsoft, because I'd rather them pay for that. They can leverage it better, and we can build software. But I felt the market wanted that technology and I'm glad it's coming. "
