Natal is about “winning” this generation, says Kim

I think that MS is overhyping this a bit, but that's fine. It's their right to be salesy.

But will this have an effect on winning this generation? LOL, no.

I can't think of any add-on that has ever became a game-changer in the marketplace, or even grown into something that I would consider "big".

The wii's motion sensor technology works the best, b/c it
A. comes with every purchase of a console
B. is basically mandatory that the mtion sensing thing be available to use so developers will pay a lot of attention to it
C. (relates to A) is cheap. If it comes with a console that costs $250, then the extra price it adds is probably nil
D: it is bundled with Wiisports that is still one the best use of the Wii motion control

motion control without killed software  = non event

D> all

So, for right now, Natal looks to have the impact that the Powerglove or Eyetoy did, which means it won't amount to much.

And for what it's worth, I think that MS needs to develop a motion technology, but imho it should be one kind of like Ninty's, a wand-based kind of system so you avoid all the extra costs and make they should make it included in every 360 , so that developers will actually produce games for it.



All in all, I think that MS deserves a grade of a D or F for Natal, as it will be a waste of resources.
