I can see why gesture and voice recognition would be great advancements to have in the home. its just i didnt buy a console for that, and i'm certaintly not paying £100 - £150 for it. and i'm not too interested in move or wii either. and those are cheaper, so i dont see people who are interested in motion control paying money for natal when its likely they already have a wii, or they can buy a wii for around that price. especailly if theres a wii price cut and nintendo decide to cut their price to less than that of natal.

i personally hope it bombs straight away, because as a core gamer i'd really hate for the HD gaming industry to start focusing on kiddy like games that come out all the time for the wii. its fair enough for people who want this, but i dont see the core gamer picking this up.

 

So you don't think the 'kiddy' games on Wii has anything to do with the stereotypical Nintendo demographic?  Its all about the interface?  Really?

And you really don't think that MS has any core games planned for 'Natal'?  I mean, they do have 40 million consoles out there with a huge core gaming demographic.  Does it really make sense for that demo to be completely ignored by MS?  Is there a precedent from them out there that you are basing this on?

Yeah i can see where your coming from, but theres nothing from M$ at the moment to suggest that natal is targetted at the core gamer. the only thing we've seen is casual games and mostly family based entertainment. theres no precendent for us to think there targetting outside this market. considering that games like Dead Space Extraction, Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles and Cursed Mountain havent dont well on the wii, i dont think M$ are targetting the core gamer with natal.

the interface dosent seem to do anything drastically different from the wii or move except for voice recognition and gesture control. so i dont see people spending £100- £150 when they can get a wii for that price.
