I will tell you what MS is going to do. They are basically going to re-launch a console with a different name than the 360 and it will contain Natal inside the box. It will have the same innards as the 360, but it will give the appearance of something new.

lol.....

 

well MS's past games won't be able to use natal.......

 

and MS does tend to concentrate on the FPS and RPG genres.......so they won't really get to use Natal for these.  Seriously, if MS thinks that they will have a "relaunch" of the console and shifting the focus of software to a bunch of motion controlled games which tend to be more casual something MS is decidedly NOT, then Sony and Ninty people will be glad to the point of wanting to throw a party.

 

Actually, MS's first party 360 releases are quite varied in genre.  You just think FPS and RPG are their focus because they have two quite large franchises in those categories.  MS relies heavily on third parties to deliver more non-casual experiences to gamers.  This works quite nicely for MS if they are going to shift a lot of their focus to the casual audience.
