Which device would sell the most? (Wii VS, PS Move, MS Natal)

Wii Vitality Sensor 46 25.14%
 
PS Move 39 21.31%
 
MS Natal 31 16.94%
 
All 3 will bomb 12 6.56%
 
Wii Balance Board > All 3 combined 55 30.05%
 
Total:183

Hmm... I see Vitality Sensor and Natal being close, but I give the edge based on price to Nintendo and the VS. I do think a majority of the public will write off Move as being a Wiimote clone, and for Natal, I see MS marketing the hell out of it. But Nintendo's just going to drop a few games for VS, market them, and all will go nuts.

Balance board will be greater than all of course, but of the others I can see Natal selling the most. Here's why, it also works on PC's, and PC guys already have 3D so this is the next thing for them to go immersive. Also, with voice recognition it has potential for helping ease computer access for the handicapped. It could be sold to hospitals and schools, and any good tech geek is going to want to try the 3D controls with their machines. So it may not sell the most to the console crowd, but overall it should sell the best.

That is, unless Ninty does something amazing with the Vitality Sensor, and I wouldn't count that out.



I'm a bit unsure about how we're defining things. Move requires up to 4 main controllers per console, vitality sensor may have multiplayer games, natal doesn't require multiple for multiplayer.

Although tbh even counting each different move controller seperately, the balance board will still easily outsell them all combined

except that they are launching it with no backing software. There has been no announcements for software to help handicapped people, there has been no announcements for hospital or school software. Microsoft is a software company, they should already be pushing their new software to go with the hardware, not just pushing the hardware. In fact, with the lack of PC software announced, I'm thinking that for PC it is an afterthought and they won't even market it to PC till after it's been on the X360 for quite some time. The best I've seen for PC use is "imagine if" by Bill Gates over 1 year ago. Obviously E3 will be very interesting, as they have a Natal show seperate from their "adult" show.

The same really goes for every single device right now. All of them have potential to be big, but until someone shows software that has potential to bring in the masses, I'm going with BB > All * 2




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I think WiiRelax+VS will outsell move and natal combined

We haven't even seen a Vitality Sensor game yet, so it's unfair to judge it now. The hardware looks pretty uninteresting, but so did the Balance Board without the software to go with it.

Move is going to bomb. It is basically a "Wii HD". Most people will look at this and laugh.

Natal has some potential. It is a unique idea at least (sort of). The e3 trailer made it look awesome last year, but then most of that was probably fake. If those ideas actually get made into playable games at this year's e3, I think Natal is actually going to be quite successful.

Still, I don't think any of these will ever be as successful as the Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus. 34 million in sales is a lot!

Indeed. The mantra for this whole shebang is "he who brings the software wins the prize".



the wii thing,with Natal coming a close second. That's the way I see it as of now. Anything can change though. It all depends on what they announce.



MOVE will revolutionized on how the way motion gaming is meant to be. The move will push the PS3 in ways we thought it was impossible.

Natal will be a bomb mark my words, there will be news going around said by developers on how difficult and how its a nightmare creating games for it. there will be disappointed users out there who will hate the Natal for what it was and how it failed to deliver what it meant to do so.

Bottom line i believe the Move will be the greater of the 3, and how those people who once looked down on it by saying its wii rip off will then soon be eating their words.

*disagree with me all you want, but you know, i know and everyone knows it the MOVE is superior over any of them by a long mile.

yep,I do disagree you. Natal will do better in my humble opinion because it's something differnt and exciting,but like I said before it all depends on what they show/announce for it. This goes for both the Move and Natal.
