You Don't really think that its going to have an effect like the wii did do you? The masses? ok let me explain this to you

elderly people play the wii     No controller makes casual games even less confusing... +elderly
I'd love to see an elderly person get past the dashboard
The system can be set up to not go into the dashboard
assumptions??
Assumptions??  It's a dashboard option right now.  You have a 360 and didn't know that?


a lot of Females love the wii   Fitness games that track complete body movement and use Xbox Live to compare workout stats, etc... +females
what fitness games have been announced or are you making assumptions? if they do make fitness games, will people who already own a wii and wii fit buy the copy cat version so they can have both?
People never buy whatever the latest fitness craze is right?  That's why there's no fitness industry anymore...
That didn't make any sense like i said in the real world we live in real people are struggling to pay of debt wht would they by another console for the same thing?
I agree nobody is buying anything new in the real world.  Women already have clothes and shoes for example and that's why they never buy any new ones.

kids love the wii  Kids will love Milo & Kate... +kids
Milo was scripted
And...?  Do you think kids are really expecting the next AI breakthrough?  They'll be happy to finger paint witha character on the screen.
struggling to pay bills, i know lets buy a few hundred ££ machine just to finger paint
There were parents paying $100-$200 (or more) over list price on eBay for the Wii when it was the popular thing to get but you're right nobody is going to pay even half that price for something new.


Blokes mostly like the wii because they know if they get it to make the wife happy they might get "some" that night.  See above... +"blokes"
see above his wife would probably hit him for wasting money on something they already have
No worries since it'll probably be the wives buying it anyways. really? I've not heard of many women buying 360s for their own amusment, the wii on ther other hand... plenty
Before the Wii how often did you hear of women buying video game consoles for exercise?  Also we're talking about Natal not the original non-Natal Xbox 360.


That is the mass audience the wii sold too, my nan plays the wii, can you imgine what games and elderly person would like to play on NATAL? can you imagine your nan playing halo reach???  No but does she like game shows?  What about bowling?  What about playing with her nephew from afar and being able to see him!
If she likes bowling i think everyone would recomned to her the wii> 360 any day of the week
Wait, the same nan that couldn't bypass a dashboard earlier is going to prefer trying to figure out a Wii remote over using just her body? yes because its  simple to get aim and point, like the remote to the telly to click on the game after she put it in, no confusing dash
See comment above about the setting in the Dashboard to automatically bypass it if a game is in the drive.

do you imagine lots of women who like the wii wanting to jump ships really?  Yes I can actually when new fitness software that emphasis group experiences is released.  That's the power of Natal + Xbox Live.
No use common sense its a waste of money on what they already have
Is that why the fitness and weight loss industries are so big?
I never  once said it wasnt big, i said why would they buy the same on the 360 when they have it on the wii already, why waste money??
Well because it wouldn't be the same thing?  Or could you point out the fitness game on Wii that doesn't use the Wii Balance Board and/or Wii Remote.


and what happens to the blokes who can't be arsed to get up jump around and pretend to shoot after a hard days work, the people that just want to use a controller, Yes nintendo took the chance and make it well, Microsoft is blatantly copying but its really not going to work out the same Blantantly copying?  Do you mean with a "wand" like controller?  Or can you show me all the hands free gesture driven Nintendo games?  like i said earlier in the thread yes microsoft and sony are copying, but sony knows from first hand expirience not to put there all into it, which seems to be what they are doing with natal.
Yeah Sony learned from the last time but Microsoft hasn't learned anything.  That's why Sony promotes their motion controller to core gamers and Microsoft to casuals, because they learned from Nintendo's success (it's Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition that is responsible for the Wii's amazing sales success not Wii Sports, right?!?).Well there about to learn
They're about to learn that Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is why the Wii was a success?  Umm ok...
