The question considering Natal is, that why haven't the earlier camera controllers succeeded. Is it because they weren't good enough or do the market just reject camera controllers. |
The PS2 Eye Cam, from what I've read, sold over 10 million and that was with only a very few games released for it and lack of marketing push from Sony.
I think a game like Just Dance alone will help Natal sell a few millions. Microsoft is putting a lot of money, time and resources into Natal. Nintendo can put a hurting to Microsoft if they disrupt their disruption.
There is one thing console game companies should know by now is not to underestimate your opposition. Nintendo did it with Sony 2 generations ago. Microsoft and Sony did it this generation with Nintendo. Things can turn around just like that in the video game industry.
Nintendo should have released their own Wii Cam just in case. It's not like it would have been huge monetary investment. Heck, they could have made a hefty profit if they did.
