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.

+1 I think your right on this one, I don't dislike Sony, I think they make some excellent product, I really like my PS3, its reliable and a nice overall system. But Nintendo did a much better job with there console this gen, they made it affordable and well revolutionized gaming.

I hope the slim works well for them, but I really doubt it. Maybe GoW3 and well GT5, if it ever comes out, will get the attention needed to sell this console. I guess this holiday will be a pretty interesting time for the PS3 in term of sale, if it fails after that, its pretty much done for, I think.
