The M$ videos have started to trickle through. This year is gonna be massive for M$. I for 1 expect due to media hype in shops, TV shows etc that Natal will be the deciding factor for 360's 10 year lifespan + number 1 for the gen. It's gonna be huge. And the tech is amazing. This video expalins how it works. Nothing else like it. Fantastic tech.

Number 1 for this gen and 10 year lifespan?

Are you serious?

Yes. My local Wants have a sign up saying we will be taking Wii's to get ready for Natal poster. That was up on January 2nd. Wants is like Cash Converters. Man I cant wait for Natal launch. Everyone in major cities getting a huge launch. Remeber they are treating it like the launch of the 360. That is from the horses mouth. I fully stand by that Natal is the turning point of the gen. With a slim 360 still an option.

I suggest you do the math on how long it'll take the 360 to outsell the Wii if it leads by... let's say... 100k/week.

It definitely won't be anytime soon. Nor do I expect the 360 last as much as 10 years, mate. Next-gen is inevitable, and not any console can do what the SNES/PS1/PS2 did.

Natal will be a success, no doubt. Hype is big even now, and you know what it'll be by the time MS joins in hyping it. But I would lower my expectations.
