I would wager that there would be fewer NATAL cameras in homes than Wiis by the end of this gen, if that's what you mean.

What generation? A new console every 5 years seems out of the question unlike past generations. I don't know what Mircosoft plans are but I bet they are not thinking about 720 anytime soon since another $300 plus console is a very bad idea.

This generation. The seventh generation of home video game consoles. I suppose we could define the generation end as either the time when the first 8th gen console releases, or Ninty, Sony and MS have all released consoles, or stated that they do not intend to do so for a while.

Generally accepted to be late 2012 to early 2013. Seeing as there will be more Wiis sold than 360s, I don't see how NATAL could possibly outsell the Wii.

That's ignoring the possibility of a new NATAL SKU, as has been rumoured. It would still be no Wii, and that would probably qualify as a next-gen console.

Since the topic, however, is whether NATAL would boost 360 sales, no, it wouldn't.

I surely hope 360 doesn't becomes a Wii. I believe the plan is to create something better. If everyone is satified with Wii and Wii sport /wii fit then the industry will die. Since Wii is still successful with inferior hardware then why create another $300+ console?  Sony seem to hint that PS3 is a two generation console (probably the same with Mircosoft) thus they seem to focus on the second generation ,  improved motion controls with HD graphics.
