Ahh, Xbox Man, we've missed you so this fair E3.... Not...

Troll thread....

Xbox Man you hilarious. Natal to take the 360 to 100 million. That will never happen.

1. Natal is $200
2. 360 owners play mostly shooters
3. Wii already dominate
4. 360 owners not too excited for it

I can go on and on with more reasons. The life time sales for the 360 will not be go over 50 million. It will be under it at about 38 life time.  360 got to sale better in Japan for it want to reach 50 million.

@C-hollomon

oh the enws & press is receiving NATAL very well

everyones saying its a wii killer

No.





Unless, M$ bundle this Natal to every sold x360 for Free = 200 mln. $ loss on 1 mln. devices,
and 2 bln. $ loss on 10 mln. devices.
Nintendo is making money, M$ is loosing even more? lol.

At an estimated $200 do you think it will take 360 above 100 million.

BOXMAN SERIOUSLY, THIS IS ONE OF YOUR WORST THREADS YET AND THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW

To put it blatantly, you're a fool if you think this will change things for the 360.

Here's why.

(1) Simultaneous multiplayer. VERY difficult to pull off, if even possible, with this type of technology.

(2) No physical control of any sort.
-Means no way to play 99% of traditional videogames with this tech.
-Also means people won't be able to "feel" anything they're doing. You think the Wii is casual? This steps beyond casual and goes straight for "complete slacker".

(3) VERY expensive price-point to get involved. $200 for the cheapest Xbox + $200 for the Natal + $50-60 for the first game. Casual gamers aren't interested in paying nearly $500 to play motion control games when they can do the same, in their eyes, for $250 and get more games. Which reminds me...

(4) GUARANTEED lack of support from third-parties. You've seen the trouble the Wii has had, and it's not even hard to code motion control for. This thing... will see maybe five decent third-party games come out for it before the end of the generation...

(5)...which is the fifth reason this will fail - the end of the generation is far too close now. By the time this actually hits the market, we'll be well beyond the "point of no return". The Wii has earned its reputation, as has the Xbox 360. The public has its opinion of all the machines, and a too-late motion controller won't change that.


If Microsoft wants to use this to their advantage in any way, they'll need to package it with the Nextbox from launch. That is the ONLY way this can help them.

Same with Sony's goofy wand.

Also are you going to dish out the $200 for it?

It's just another gimmick. Peripherals that aren't standard with the console rarely ever make any headway.

This. Especially without any convincing software shown yet. It's all a pipe dream of "potential" right now, with many problems to solve and a lot to be changed if this is to work in reality.

It seems Sony will have their motion control working before Microsoft, and they'll have the advantage of having a system closer to the Wii Remote, which could mean Wii ports. But even for Sony it's very unsure it will take off.
