PS3 is doing the 10 year plan, and wii isn't going HD any time. Why does MS need to sacrifice 2-3 years of milking the 360 tech with a motion controller when the competition is milking its products.

Besides, natal is the motion controller everyone will focus on. Say what you will but Sonys tech is far too close to the Wii which is out of 3 years now. Maybe MS wants to introduce the gamers to the idea of Natal before the blow our minds with next gen motion controller.

Or maybe MS hopes to sell you a useless eyepet knock off and ruin the xbox brand they established

just because a new console comes out doesnt mean that production immediately stops on the previous console.

and wii will never go hd. it doesnt fucking need to. why does everyone talk about this?

New console = sales at a loss. Why would MS wait to bundle something cool with natal when they can sell it with 360 and probably squeeze some hardware profit? When its all said and done, if natal moves 5 million 360s at 50 dollar profit. Thats a 250 million dollar hardware profit.

Instead of 1.5 billion loss that companies like MS and Sony take when releasing a new console and sell it below cost.

you make a good point, they probably will make a bunch of money off of it, and like somebody else mentioned, they could work the bugs out to make the tech in the next console even better.

i dont know.. my whole thing was that it just seems kind of late, but we will see what kind of numbers it can pull for the 360. and stuff.
