| Avinash_Tyagi said: Here's the thing Legend, the average consumer isn't going to buy Natal, the price isn't going to be in their range, unless MS is willing to lose billions by selling it at a loss, the camera pricing is estimated at $200, couple with an updated Xbox and you are looking at a 400 dollar system, well out of the price range of the average consumer, only gamers will be willing to plunk down that cash, so it is relevant, the Wii fit crowd isn't going to buy NATAL unless its sold at a massive loss |
Here's the thing Avinash_Tyagi, you have no idea what the price of it is going to be. You have no idea what the price of the Xbox 360 will be when it launches or even if there will be a special SKU with it. That's the problem, you just have no idea and yet you're stating things like they're facts.
As for Steven Spielberg I want to ask you, do you think it would have been better for Microsoft to have gone with Will Wright or Richard Garriot instead? Do you think it would have gotten as many headlines or had as much weight with the mass casual audience and non-gamers? Do you think that when Oprah was showing Wii Fit that her credibility with the gaming industry mattered?
As for what the Wii Fit crowd is going to buy, how do you know what they're going to buy in the future? Seriously unless you show me some kind of poll or whatever that backs you up I'm going to say you're just pulling that out of your ass. From my perspective and I'm not stating this as fact but as an observation, the fitness industry is so big because people tend to continue buying new products every year. I've yet to see someone buy an Ab Roller for instance and then never buy another piece of fitness equipment again.
