Yes. I expect it to perform poorly - if it mets Microsoft's expectations I will be surprised, and people's expectations on this board are way too high.

I think it will be this generation's 32x.

Yeah I guess I agree.

The big problem is that Kinect is a separate add-on. Plus it came a lil late in the gen obviously.

Just so. The quality of its software is subjective but immaterial in the face of the circumstances of its launch. Mark my words - Kinect is an experiment, an expensive one, that will test the waters for Microsoft's next console.

Yes I always saw it that way, that Natal is a big test for next gen cos they'll have 2 years or so and see if it works out or not. But it seems they're investing in it so much and pushing it so hard that it will be impossible to back away from this strategy. I already get the feeling that they've locked themselves to Kinnect as their "main thing" for next gen, not just to the end of this gen.
