about the hype on Natal :

people have to realize it is REALLY far from the casual crowd right now
but, to defend Natal, we are also far from the release date meaning it is expected that NO one outside game/tech lovers know it ...

I pretty much agree with this.  I'm bullish on Natal largely off Microsoft's track record, they've really become masters at dealing with and manipulating the industry media.  I don't think it'll come close to Wii, but it'll probably help Microsoft regain their position post-slim.

to precise a bit my past post :

I DO THINK Natal may reach the mainstream media because MS are pro when it comes to marketing.

But, right now, Natal is NOTHING ...

Wait... how can Natal be really far from the casual crowd?  It's taken over every late night television show and morning news program.  Even my mom, my grandma, my aunts, my very very casual never play games and not even the Wii type people know and are hyped for Natal...

Right now, after E3 hype has finally settled down, Natal isn't being talked about as much, but it is still far from nothing.  PS3 Wand is NOTHING.

- I do completely agree about your other post when you say to someone that Natal is not really a "me too" product compared to the Wand that is clearly a "mee too" product

- but, I have to repeat to you and burst your bubble : NATAL is nothing right now, same go for the PS wand

it is not because hardcore gamer knows it, because some tech TV shows it that Natal exists.

game announced : Natal 0 Wand 1
advertising : 0
price : 0
release date : 0

seriously, NATAL is really far from the casual crowd right now AND that makes sense since we are far from the release date
