| mibuokami said: I find it puzzling that a new console would launch a mere year after the Natal / PS Dildo inniative (assuming it will hit 2010). MS especially seems to be pushing Natal as the 'next step in gaming evolution' so it would probably be a bitter pill for it to arrive a mere year before the next Xbox. Perhaps it will be forward compatible with next gen console? |
Even on the day they were announced, I suspected that both motion controls are supposed to be released with the next generation only.
Just look at Sony's PurleWand! It was obvious from the presentation's amateurishness, that they didn't plan to show it, it was just an escape plan in case Microsoft shows something too. So they grabbed some PS4 controller prototype, and bluffed.
Microsofts presentation was more planned, but it was still weird with no release date, no actual games, no price, and no free hands-on demo. I could be wrong, and maybe they honestly only prepare for a peripheral launch that is as big as a new console's, but as you said, it just doesn't make sense to release it that late in the generation.
If I would have to choose, the 2011 release of the next generation is much more probable, than the launch of NATAL in 2010.
