I am curious if people here don't think the videogame industry would be adversely affected by Microsoft pulling out. I won't put it on par with Atari posting record losses, which helped trigger the crash, but wouldn't it have a large impact? I think even Sony pulling out would cause the venture capital drying up to fund new game development to accelerate. It means the industry has hit a max point and is in decline. It would send shockwaves I believe. Don't think for a minute it would be awesome for your console of choice.
If Natal fails, it means that Nintendo is the only ones who do motion control right. I say that knowing there is Move out there, but the bloom would be off, and motion control would be seen as a Nintendo thing. Well, I am saying this with the assumption that Natal is priced competitively and works well. I know people hold out hope for Move being all that, but how exactly does Move succeed and Natal don't? Are owners of the PS3 more eager to get motion control than XBox owners? Failure of Natal means that the Blue Ocean Nintendo created isn't a growth path for videogames, and the industry is back again to the cycle of more and more expenses sunk on better and better graphics (with diminishing returns).
