Forums - Microsoft Discussion - ( Natal Launch ) Will Be As Big As 360's

I wonder if they will save the Xbox 360 Slim for that time? Actually further to that I wonder if the hardware itself would be updated, as in a little bit faster than your standard Xbox 360 or say twice the memory. They want to make as big a splash as possible and if they give existing users a reason to upgrade to an Xbox 360 Natal it could give help them make enough waves to get the whole lot noticed by everyone.

Well there goes a thread I was going to introduce . . .

Makes all the sense in the world.  Natal + Xbox 360 Slim + new lower price = September 2010.  Like its all coming together in a big perfect storm or something.  And, I know its a little premature to say this, but if just what I mentioned above plays out, Nintendo and Sony would have a very hard time countering all of that.  What's crazy is we know that MS has just regular games up their sleeves too ...

So, it will be full of RRoD?

j/k. lol.

I'm sure MS will hype the ish out of it. Though I really want to see how they get around the whole lack of all buttons issue for the mass of current genres.

So much buzz about it years from when it will launch.



I LOVE ICELAND!

This is not how MS works. It will not launch for a long time, bet on it.

lol I'm sure everyone will flock to stores to spend their money on Natal. What is it $100? $200?

I'm still betting it does respectabley, but isn't revolutionary like people think. I bet only a few arcade games and maybe some lame 3rd party games actually utilize Natal, no high budget games like Halo, Gears or Forza.

Your still assuming it will release. That is your first mistake.
