Pricing is key, which will be yet another benefit for SONY's Motion Controller. |
Except that Sony's Motion controller will probably be just as expensive as most modern controllers at $50 or $60, and requires the Playstation Eye which is a $40 add-on. If people are lucky, Sony will bundle that with a "Wii Play like game" for $100 or $120 which can hardly be called inexpensive ...
This just got me thinking that, while I still think the stand alone Wii MotionPlus is a "Rip Off", the pricing of the Wii MotionPlus is starting to seem like a bargain being that you may be able to buy 2 or 3 games that are bundled with the Wii MotionPlus (and the additional MotionPlus add-ons to complete your set) for less than it will cost you to buy either competitors add-ons with a game you want to play. I could be wrong though, and both Microsoft and Sony could surprise me, but right now it is starting to look like Nintendo's pricing is pretty cheap relatively.

Well, Natal plays 4 people with one device. The equivalent for the Wii would be 4 motes, nunchuks, and Motion+s.
But if you aren't going to be getting a setup for 4 player play, then Natal will have a higher monetary cost.

Not really ... If we're going down that route you would have to add 4 XBox controllers because 4 Wiimotes + 4 Nunchucks + 4 Motion Plus enables you to play 99% of the Wii's library in 4 player mode while Natal only gives you access to a handful of games.
Regardless of that, I think the most likely situation is people who're buying these devices as an upgrade for a system they already own to play it in a similar way to how they currently use their system. A person who plays the Wii with 2 players locally will likely be interested in 2 Wii MotionPlus devices, while a person who mostly plays single player XBox 360 will look to have the Natal justified on single player alone.
