| Pyro as Bill said: I don't see either being a major success. Natal may be an impressive piece of kit but I've still not seen any software that makes it a must buy. Sony may get Wii ports but they aren't going to get the most successful ports. I don't see the Wii's current userbase 'upgrading'. We have an 'upgraded' Wii Sports already, will Sony Sports or X-Box Sports really make people buy a whole new system to play? I don't see it. I still don't see an equivalent of the balance board yet either. If Sony/MS can't get their cameras sitting next to the sensor bar by the time next gen starts they could be in a lot of trouble when Nintendo's next system releases. A system capable of playing all third party multiplats, an improved online system, a balance board, the strongest 'motion IP' catalog and arguably the strongest first party catalog, backwards compatibility and a retro catalog of Virtual Console calibre will be unstoppable. |
Your opinion is your opinion, and I wont argue that, but @ bolded above...I do have a couple of questions:
1) NO games have been announced for Natal yet...so that would explain you not seeing any for it. A bit early to call that then, don't you think?
2) What link do you have to prove that Sony won't get succesful ports? In fact, that seems to be the ones Sony would TARGET. NOW if you mean, they won't get NINTENDO games, that is fair (and true) but not really what you typed.
On topic, I think both are using this gen as an 'extended beta' for their new control systems. HOW integrated they are in the new generation will depend on how well they do, but I think both have invested too much in R&D just to let them die.
