Microsoft - Why Natal? - View Post

Because people don't want to spend another $400 on a console.
MS has pretty much secured second place in America but they need more fire to get back second place world wide, and they figured Natal will be that key to success.

MS will profit as a whole on the 360 by the end of 2010 most likely so they want to keep going till Sony/Nintendo show signs of a new dominating console - which doesn't seem like it will happen too soon anyways.

The economy sucks and people don't have money to blow $400 on another console right now. However if MS could release the 720 at $300 I would agree with you. I want to see Crysis on Ultra High for the 720!

well thats why you dont make your console cost a shitload. nintendo launched the wii at 250. it worked pretty well for them. nintendo's new console will probably be 250 to 300. i dont see why ms and sony priced their consoles so ridiculously high.
