I seriously don't know how big Natal will be. When Nintendo unveiled the Wii during E3 I just knew it was going to be huge. I was on video game message boards saying it will outsell its competitors which people thought I was crazy.

My prediction on Natal right now is that it will fail to make a significant impact but my view can change come this E3. But right now there is a lot going against it:

1) Microsoft and most 3rd parties have no experience with family, casual games, nor with games using motion cam tech.

2) It's going to be buggy! If Matt C. is to be believed they are having a hard time trying to get it to work. Nintendo's R & D has been working on motion controlls presumably since early 2000s and the Wiimote still came out to be inadequate which is why there is an add on. Even with the add on there are issues with calibration. How much more of an issue will full body control will be?

3) Xbox 360 is a dudebro console and I don't know if any massive marketing can change that perception. Even the na e sounds hardcore.


I think they will be marketing the Natal not the xbox console.
