Greenberg: "Millions of Natals in Consumers' Homes this Holiday"

""Millions" of Natal units in a single holiday season is certainly an ambitious goal and one usually out of reach of most video game peripherals; however, Project Natal will be released with more than a year of hype behind it, not unlike the highly anticipated Wii Fit."

RUBBISH.

This quote is confusing consumer demand for hype. Pokemon had virtually no hype before it was released. Halo 3 and GTA IV were arguably the most hyped games of all time and did not sell as much as Pokemon or Wii Fit.

Wii Fit was successful because there was demand for interactive fitness software and Nintendo tapped it. What consumer demand is Natal filling? Hype can make a success but only consumer demand can create a phenomenon like Wii Fit.

lol, pokemon had no hype??? It is arguably the most watched anime in the world. Maybe you didn't hype about it, but millions of kids have.

 

let's face it, how many people are still playing Wiifit after first month?


compare GTAIV with the above 2 games is not fair, GTAIV sold very well.
