To be clear. Im not saying that the product itself will fail in any way, nor do i try to calculate the different variables that needs to be fulfilled for it to be successful or not. My concern is THE HYPE (capital letters).
THE HYPE, imo, has skyrocketed NATAL to the point where it through the eyes of the consumer basicly can not succeed, no matter how good the final product will be. People, like i stated a few post back, thinks that this product will let them take the roll of their favourite FPS character and let them play some sort of matrix shooter in their living rooms. Or to act like a war lord and vocally shout out orders to their RTS army on their way to global domination. And im 99% sure that will not be possible, so once NATAL finally goes live with its software line-up, it will "fail" no matter what. Even though it may have some really good casual games.
THE HYPE might help MS attract new customers, like richardhutnik posted above, but THE HYPE might just kill the value of NATAL itself once gamers get their hands on it.
