Here is what I think will happen, please do no get upset as it is just an opinion not a fact:

• Wii is going to go mad sales wise, it is going to utterly destroy everything in 2010, and that is down to the games coming for it this year alone.
• PS3 is going to do better than X360 in sales because of the huge momentum it has starting in 2010, not to forget the possibility of titles such as FF13vs releasing at christmas (that would help them out a lot), plus X360+Natal will cost more than ps3+PSEye+PSWands(2), and people will probably choose Wii or PS3 for their gaming fix.
• X360 is going to sell even less consoles this year, and it will upset it's user base because Natal is going to cost a lot of money, so it will be too expensive for casuals to consider buying X360+Natal, which means only a few existing users on the X360 will actually bother with Natal.

Here is a big question what doe MS has up it sleeves to counter the PSWand release?? Wii can survive on games alone, lol.

Sony's Eye cost $40 dollars, and then you have to buy the Gem itself another $40-50? And then of course now you have to have another dualshock as well

So Playstation Eye, 2 Gems, and a dualshock

$180

Microsoft's Natal $50-$80 http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/11/11/project.natal.price.ship.targets.slip.out/ 

Yeah, which is more expensive

I did not realise they had confirmed a price for Natal or the PS Wands just yet, I was just looking at the technology and just thought that there was now way that Natal is going to be cheap, but if MS wants to make it cheaper that's cool I guess. Seriously have you got an article confirming the gem for that price yet, just wondering, anyway good job for finiding that info

No, I don't have any link for the gem number. It is just a guess(Note the ?). Dabuddahn and I guessed a number and we came out about the same

Do you think MS will put up the price of live to fund NATAL?? That is the only way I can see MS making back some of the money it costs to make Natal, but then again I could be wrong
