Forums - Sales Discussion - Natal will put 360 on top for the rest of the generation

^Not exactly. There is a difference.

No, there isn't.

Also, i think/expect AGENT will move more PS3 HW, than Natal x360 HW during it`s first week of release.

you say agent will cause a bigger hardware spike first week than natal?



I hope Natal crashes and burns; leading to a long, painful death.

That said, I doubt it will put the 360 on top. It's not a disruptive product but rather a "me-too" eye-toy like perphiral. Besides, my room is not perfectly white and I doubt most 360 owners have perfectly white rooms so they can fully use Natal.

hmm so now its when natal releases? i thought the 360 was supposed to alralready be ahead again now, what happened guys..?



baaah humbug. having said that i think logic forces me to agree. microsoft is very good at building hype and they are getting TONS of help from the media. When natal rolls around and has even one remotely (no pun intended) decent looking game at launch people will gobble it up, and while it may not sell to current xbox owners stacks of people will buy it as its "revolutionary" (imo it's a glorified pseye). id even venture to say 1-2 mil first week.(now being a sony fan i just want to say something about the wand. i think it may initaly have weak sales but only because of poor marketing[however as current marketing is improving we may be suprised but i feel the mainstream will view it as a wii rip-off even though its way better] however it will have good legs as it is an impressive piece of harware and word of mouth, good software reviews, and a strong first party lineup will drive sales[speculation but sony DOES have a great first party].) back on topic, however, i had believed ps3 would overcome 360 by jan 1st 2011(12[side point irrelivent;please ignore]) with the gap being reduced to 5 mil by jan 1st 2010, however i relise now that with the combined market of "hardcore" gamers for current 360 hardware and games as well as the new "casual" market from natal then the ps3 wont stand a chance and natal along with classic 360 may even be in a position to start gaining on wii. the only way this wont happen is if natal flops but it wont as the average consumer is a slave to the hype machine. and if microsoft is any kind of smart they'd release a blue-ray addon next year (anounced at e3 2010 to be released by christmas) and screw sony as it shows the average consumer "see? xbox does blue-ray too!". man logic sucks......FUCK! ** I really hope im wrong about this ** again

Natal is racist?

I didn`t say: Also, i think/expect AGENT first week will move more PS3 HW, than Natal x360 HW during it`s first week of release.

Yes, i`m smart.

Unlikely imo, the peripheral is colliding with what the console itself is built to be and has always tried to be. Giving the 360 a split personality won't do much good I think.

Mummel agrees with Malstrom?!?!

 

Who divided by zero?

I haven't really read his opinions about the motion controllers for the HD consoles but, yes, it would seem so! I never had much faith in neither Natal nor the Wands from Sony. If it were an intergrated part of the machines from the get-go and there was tons of existing and future software supporting I could see it. But this generation has cost both Sony and MS quite a bit and I can't see them suddenly changing course and being successfull about it at all.

Next gen will be more interesting in this regard though.

Also, everytime I seen it, the player has either been in a white room or in a suit.  Makes you think huh?  Also, I just don't see it becoming big.  I mean one of the complains about the Wii is that in several games you wave your arms to do something you'd otherwise use a button for.  Imagine getting off your couch, moving your arms like your undrilling something, then drilling it in and going back on your couch.  That's several times worse.
