Is Arc the name of just the Sony remote or the Eye Toy/Remote combo? Because when considering that you only need 1 Natal per system, but some people will want 3-4 Sony Remotes that would really be a big attach rate disparity between the two.

Arc's just the remote.  To be honest, I expect they'll move a similar number of units, but Microsoft will be able to claim a higher installed base die to this (1 Natal per household versus 1-4 Arcs per household).

Doesn't that make the value proposition for Project Natal much better to consumers than Arc?  Natal can just recognize multiple players vs having to purchase more remotes for Arc multiplayer is pretty huge.  Especially if (yeah ... if) each Arc controller costs near what a regular controller current costs.
