Personally I think Microsoft's biggest mistake since they came into the console market is calling their console an X-BOX. It just reaks non-casual (Hardcore) and that's who they really need to attract and are attempting to with Natal. Playstation seems very balanced and for all audiences and Wii sound's very casual and party friendly.
The casual games they have produced have not been very succesfull or rememberable. (B&K Nuts&Bolts, Viva Pinata's) yet if they were on the Wii platform they'd most likely sell like hot cakes.
Have you ever noticed it's generally the Xbox or Xbox games that are mentioned in videogame violence and sex debates yet the Playstation 3 has equally violent if not more (GOW III lol) and a ton more nudity. The only nipple my Xbox has rendered is Snow's (Final Fantasy XIII) and Dante's Wife and some monsters (Dante's Inferno), oh wait... And the penis of a corrupt polictican (GTA Lost & Damned) 
All you Ps3 owners can experience that soon anyway 
I believe if Microsoft ever wants to be a hit with the casuals they'll have to ditch the Xbox brand name which would be bad, they would lose their identity that they've been building for the last 9 years.
Could you ever see Sony dropping the Playstation brand name? Nintendo can change because Nintendo is the brand name. Nintendo 64, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo Wii etc.
That's my thought anyway.
