I don't think Natal is going to be as big of a hit as people think it's going to be either. When Natal hits it's entirely possible that the wii will drop it's price to $150 and release the vitality sensor to stop Natal from eating into a substantial amount of wii sales. If people thought $300 was a sweet spot, imagine what 150$ would be. Some might consider this lucadcrious but if nintendo is still profitting from the wii right now, how much could they really loose by dropping the price? They could easily make back 30 to 40 dollars that were lost through popular first party releases if they were even loosing that much. And as for the ps3, if the 360 drops it's price, then as mentioned by others in this post, sony will likely drop the price to $250. I don't think the release of the playstation motion controller will initially sells consoles, but the true effect of course will be in dampering the natal sales and eventually making multiplatform shooters like call of duty and other campatible hardcore gamer games look more appealing on ps3. If microsoft does not bundle natal, I can't see it catching on all that much and same with the ps3 motion controller. If microsoft does bundle natal, it will for microsoft to lower the price. I can't see the gap ever being 10 million let alone 8 million again.
