Bethesda Game Studio director Ashley Cheng likes Natal, but thinks that it’s wasted on games. His solution? Open up the API to whoever wants to make apps for it.

Here’s what Cheng posted on his blog:

Seeing it in action, I was totally blown away by it. It seems wasted on games, really. Microsoft should open the NATAL API up like Apple does with the iphone/ipad. Let anyone make a NATAL “app.” I bet someone makes a killer app that has nothing to do with gaming.

Natal is set for release this year, although reports have differed on the exact month.
