MS is probably giving them all a really sweet exclusive kind of deal for their Natal project, basically the old moneyhat thing, I mean, why would these japanese companies do this otherwise, MS is last place in japan. But, MS is fooling both themselves and us if they think that this is going to be anything of a game changer in the marketplace. It's going to run costs up too much if it's included in every 360, and if it isnt it won't be more than a blip in the events of the generation.

Eventually, I think that all 3 will have a wand kind of motion control, as the other two will, its motion control would be cheaper than the natal technology, and MS would like to be able to play games that have came out on the other two.

What most of you guys fail to realize is that Microsoft just doesn't throw away money. Microsoft bought 3dv Electronics(or whatever there name is). They wouldn't have bought them if they didn't think that they could get their moneys worth out of them

Secondly you also failed to realize that Japanese companies sell games outside of Japan. Infact I believe they sell more out of Japan then they do inside. And guess what, they are doing pretty well for themselves in Pal and America.

actually ur 2nd point is wrong, Japanese developers make more money in japan...even a big japanese international developer like SE makes 80% of its earnings in from its home land, and CAPCOM, SE,SEGA, KONAMI, NINTENDO, NAMCO BANDAI are the only Japanese developers that are even moderately successful in the west
