| MontanaHatchet said: Natal likely won't do anything in Japan. Worldwide, it might give it a boost, but I really doubt it will make any significant changes in sales. Should be an interesting add-on though. Sadly, it's being overhyped by 360 fans and is bound to disappoint many. Just wait until the thing is at least somewhat close to coming out. |
On these boards there are 5 Natal sucks threads for every 1 Natal is cool... personally I'm just not sure how that can be considered over-hyping.
In fact, your estimation that it will have no effect in Japan, and very little effect everywhere else, seems MUCH more in tune with the sentiment of the majority of folks on VGChartz. I mean honestly, HOW many people are there here REALLY over-hyping this?
On topic, I'm excited to hear what GAMES they announce for Natal. I think the evolution of the controller (as brought to the mainstream by the success of Wii) is important to the development life-cycle of videogames going forward. IF (a big IF), Natal is a possible future of that evolution, yeah, then yes it would be cool to "be on the ground floor" so to speak.
I don't expect it to magically generate sales though. If the games are good and it offers new (and fun) experiences, you should HOPE it succeeds. IF it doesn't, then we should hope it fails.
