Challenge / Re-establish Microsoft as a leader in gaming innovation in the face of competition from Nintendo and Sony.

Solution / Natal - a hands-free gaming system which detects the body's movement, and uses facial and voice recognition to interact with characters on the screen.

Results / A global PR ripple, despite a Q4 2010 launch date. Steven Spielberg said: 'This is a pivotal moment that will carry with it a wave of change, the ripples of which will reach far beyond video games.'
