Is the PS3 slim the last hope ?

They might catch up with Microsoft until natal comes out, but the Wii s completely out of reach right now

Why would Natal make a difference? It's not like Sony has no response to it...

I doubt Sony's response can defect the sales caused by Natal.

 

  Why? I've seen the demos for Natal and the Wand and they both seem to be pretty similar in what they can do. Now if Sony's wand turns out to be complete crap then I can see Natal trouncing it, but the same can be said if the reverse is true. Right now neither system has been proven and until the consumers get it no one knows how good either product will be.

Ok let's assume they're both the same thing.... the general consumer will see Natal as "OMG REVOLUTIONARY!!!" and when they see the PS3's wand they will see it as "Wii has been doing that already, copycatters!!".

 

The general consumer will more than likely lean toward Natal.

Though I can respect your opinion on this, I still think it is extremely difficult to predict the general public's reaction, otherwise MS and Sony would never have been blindsided by Nintendo this gen. My opinion is that the general public will not care that it has been done on the Wii if the Wand a better input device than Natal. In the end, as Nintendo has proven, it is the user experience that counts and that is all the average consumer will care about.
