As far as Natal goes, when has an add-on that was released in the middle of a generation ever had a serious impact on hardware sales? Power-glove, Eye-Toy, Sega 32X, Sega CD? It's also funny that you berate Sony for "shameless copying" of Xbox Live and then turn right around hail Natal as the second coming of Christ.

 

 

Sigh, how many times must this nonsense be repeated.  NATAL is not an ADDON.  MS considers it a console relaunch.  Also, NATAL isn't copying anything, it is reinventing the UI.

I don't give a damn what Microsoft calls it, it's an add-on. It's the same console with a different control scheme, nothing more, nothing less. Calling it a "console relaunch" is just MS trying to hype it up as something more than it is.

Reinventing the GUI? Please. What are they reinventing here, exactly?

Really, had Nintendo released the Wii-mote for the Gamecube in 2004 and called it a console relaunch, would it have made any kind of a damn difference?

 

 

You do realize that Nintendo did exactly what you state right?

But the difference is that the older 360's can play natal too. Gamecubes are less powerful than the wii and cant play wii games.

To be honest I don't really care about the gap now. 2009 was a win for me with the PS3 because of the games that I got to play. Sales didn't help me enjoy them anymore
