Ok, so now we can throw out all quotes and concentrate on the games? You look at the E3 Natal video and you think "they are really going after the core with Natal"? Ricochet is core? That paint thing was core?  Milo is core?

I find it very interesting that you are possibly the only person around who thinks Natal is for core 360 gamers. Hell, most people around here can't even think of core games to make for it.

Fable 3 is for the downmarket?

And Fable 3 can be played without Natal.  Peter said it is still a controller experience.  Anything else?

But that still illustrates my point, you point to three tech demos, and say its targeting the downmarket, I can point to ones that says core (Fable 3, burnout, grand slam tennis, Half-life 2), and whether or not its one option, its actually being implemented in a core game Fable 3, those three tech demos you named, ricochet, paint and milo are not actual games at least not yet, Fable 3 is a game, a core game, and its being used there, right now its clear NATAL is being used for the core, whether anything is coming that will make an attempt at the downmarket, even a birdman attempt, is still unknown.

You are very, very selective about anything that you read dude.  Once again, Fable 3 is a controller based experience, we do not know how Natal will be utilized.  This is in NO WAY an indication that Natal will be mainly for core games.  In fact, Fable 3 plus MS promotional material would indicate that they are trying to cater to all audiences at the same time.  What a terrible strategy that is huh?

I haven't even seen Grand Slam Tennis for Natal.  Link please.  Sounds like it would be cool.

But, I guess you are right.  You understand the market better than anyone else.  You understand Natal's strategy before anyone else.  You are amazing.  I bow before you.

You don't make a game like Fable appeal to the downmarket just by changing the way its controlled, the game still doesn't have the same values, the downmarket isn't looking for immersive games like Fable.

Actually Fable 3, plus GST, plus Burnout, plus HL2, indicate that yeah it is being used primarily for core games.
