| Gamerace said: I think Iwata made the right decision for Nintendo. For MS it's a different story. MS can eat some of the cost of Natal and sell it at a loss, something Nintendo would never do. 360 appeals to people who will spend more than Nintendo's audience. Remember 360 launched at what $399? And it's games are more expensive too. Wii already had a novel input device and while it was worth considering it wasn't needed for Iwata's plans. MS needs Natal to compete with Nintendo. Latency may still prove to be an issue as well as picking up people with darker complexions. |
Pretty much on the money. Nintendo used their technology and the Wiimote to make themselves unique and get to where they are today. While Microsoft likely only picked up the Natal to compete with Nintendo.
Looking at it from a purely business standpoint, Nintendo did what was most cost effective and Microsoft is trying to use Natal to slice off as much of Nintendos pie as they can.
