Ok, cool.

You do realize that the Natal tech looks expensive right? I mean they are shoving two types of cameras in a little platic box, and putting sensors around the living room. That could cost $50-60 for them, and even if MS just adds $50 to every console, that will tip things in sony's favor because of the price difference. Do you have enough faith in Natal and the 360's relaunch to think that adding to the price of the 360, even given some inventive games will increase sales? I honestly do not when cheaper and still very much fun motion control will be around for the other two consoles. All the PS3 has to do is port over some ninty games, which will obviously be 2nd tier - no mario metroid zelda etc, but still decent games.

Look, MS is over-reaching here. They are putting too much into this, making the whole thing way too expensive and cumbersome, and this is going to be a big fail.

Hmm...

1. Yes, it is going to be expensive. Though I doubt that they will increase the price. They will most likely try to make up the loss with the money they make from software

2. Natal is releasing late next year. All the major publishers already have dev kits.So natal will release with a lot of games.If enough of them have exclusive natal controls then you can expecta large wave of conumers. As well as the fact that the only thing the devs need to do is release a patch so that you can play your old games with it

2.5. Sony's wand is releasing in the spring. And not all the major publsiher have dev kits yet(or at leaast said that they have dev kits). The wand is going to release with very little third party support.

3. If you think that a lot of games are going to get ported to the Ps3 from the Wii. Then you have to think how easy the Wii is to develope for you, and how hard and expensive the PS3 is to develop for. I see very few games getting this treatment
