However, looking at this realistically, almost every one of Microsoft's accessories is twice the price that it needs to be ($40 web camera, $60 headset), so what makes anybody think that Microsoft will launch Natal at a reasonable price (aside from being bundled with the system, which does nothing for the 30+ million existing owners)? Yes, I am aware that Microsoft is conscious of not pricing Natal out of the reach of consumers, however, it is not a standard practice of Microsoft to price anything inexpensively (yes, the console itself was cheaper than the ps3; this is more because the ps3 was expensive, not because the 360 was ever cheap). It is more likely Microsoft will charge an absurd price (at least what I feel is absurd, like around $100) and simply use their marketing genius to make others feel this is a value. I refuse to believe that Natal, an advanced camera with a built-in processor, is going to launch within $20 dollars of their standard web camera. |
You feel that 100 bucks is too much for a camera whose processor is rumored to be more powerful than the x360 is too much?Iam honestly expecting it to be 200 bucks and up....
