What if NATAL was free with Halo: Reach?

You mean at $60 for the total package? With the ad campaign they'll have for it? They may lose upwards of $250 per unit, then. Selling 10 million+ could become very, very expensive. Billions, easily, because I couldn't see them losing less than $100 at that price. They'd really have to be going all in on the idea, because it's going to cost them as much as a console launch. That means a push for Natal support in any game where it's even remotely feasible (and that better be a sizeable share).

i based the offer on the situation that NATAL would $100.

 

They would lose money but NATAL will havea great start.

 

Sony lost much more money on PS3,so i think with MS fiances they could do it

They could do it, yes. Their stockholders would riot and sell everything, and they'd lose a hell of a lot of money even if they didn't go bankrupt. But the real question here is: why would they want to? What would it achieve to sell a $60 million game (once advertising is paid for) and a $100 camera for $60? You would be losing $100 on each sale. Reach would sell a lot with this deal: perhaps 10 million. So a $1 billion loss...for what?

but if they launched NATAL without a solid software,it wouldn't be as succesfull.And we know there is no other franchise that will have so much impact.

Tell you what, send your idea to Microsoft, and post their reply. Censor the swearing, though.

It might end up as something like "******** ****** **** ********* you ****************************************".
