$70...lol...a regular controller is $50...sorry, but If M$ follows the WiiFit board pricing model, good things will happen...how many did Nintendo sell again?

That's kind of like arguing that if Nintendo released a crime based sandbox game and sold it for $60 it would sell amazing because Grand Theft Auto sold so well ...

 

No, it due to the fact that Xbox owners aren't shy about spending $$$...It's about what level of value is being offered.  If Natal ships with a great game as Wii did with Wii Sport, I think $119 and below would deliver very healthy returns to begin with...and it's going to be during the holiday season, and after M$'s hype machine has been spinning for a while...so yeah...I do think it can emulate WiiFit sales, and no, I don't think the GTA comparison is accurate.  M$ has gotten some serious buy-in from the game development community!

The "Value" of Wii Fit didn't make it the best selling game in over a decade, Wii Fit sold so well because the software was very high quality and had unprecedented appeal with an untapped demographic of gamers.

Just matching the "Value" of Wii Fit is just like matching the "Value" of Grand Theft Auto ... Unless Microsoft can produce something truly unique and special it is very unlikely that Natal can match the success of Wii Fit.
