Not confimered doesn't mean instantly its wrong. Unless there is good reason to distrust the site, there is no reason to dismiss what it wrote.
Links to the articles saying how good Natal is?

Plus I was explaining Natal and Move through how the non educated buyer and retailers will view it. Either get a movement kit with just a camera, or one with a camera and control. Not to mention Natal is similar to Eyetoy in the sense of no button control.
Also Move doesn't need LoS - look back at the E3 demo. Also at a recent tech demo, the technician (same guy at E3) mentioned how it uses the accelerometer to figure out its location in real time space when its out of the view of the eyetoy.

Also if Natal is so awesome, why did Sony pass up on it & choose Move? Let's not forget which won out of bluray and HD-DVD....

A lot of those articles were written before we found out that Microsoft had scrapped the idea of having the CPU in camera. Once that went the costs came plummeting down.

"Yet more from Microsoft's Open House conference in New York, which was held yesterday, Robbie Bach telling attendees that the Natal motion controller will start off pricey but get cheaper"

"Relative to Natal, we'll see how the pricing cost works out," the entertainment and devices boss told the great and good of the industry.

"But people should except that it will go through the usual price curve."

You only read what you wanna like. Look, I've got a name, Robbie Bach PRESIDENT OF ENTERTAINMENT DIVISON, Microsoft, that's the one who said that. You got something to prove it wrong? fine! do it, but don't come here spouting shit about the source.

I'll believe Robbie in the meantime, I guess he knows his own business better than you.

@Scoobes

the thing is nobody can tell if by the time we get news or rumors or whatever there have been changes all over the place inside a company. This whole conversation is pointless. It'll happen like it'll happen.

I don't see a quote where he says it will be expensive; it's hardly odd for person's quotes to be paraphrased wrong

Obviously it's going to be more expensive at launch and then get lower, but unless someone says the word expensive or actually gives a price I think there's more evidence of MS trying to keep the cost low.

Lol, again, irrelevant because of the age of the source.  Lots have changed since then.  Do come back now when you have something more recent and confirmed.

"Pricey" could be $100.  And "get cheaper" could mean within a matter of a few months it will be much cheaper.  Either way, you are only looking at the basic point of entry costs.  To get the full experience you pay one time for Natal, in full, up front.  Probably $100 or less.  For Move you have to buy the basic one player setup (which to get the full experience requires 2 Wands, PS Eye, and one nunchuck), and then even more for however many people you would like to play with at one time.  2 Players at a time is a kind of minimum so thats 4 wands, 2 Nunchucks, and PS Eye for that experience.

"Unless you mean to show me how the inferior product can win based on dev support? HD-DVD was better in nearly every imagineable way over blu-ray. Costs of players and discs, their read speeds, capabilities, etc."


dude you're nothing but a troll and a blind fanboy, it only took that crap to make you come out of the closet, LOL!

No, it'll be a 120GB Elite bundle with Natal for 299$.

Obviously Nintendo are American. American companies release daring and innovative products whilst Japanese companies are just waiting in the wings to copy them. *Retro 80s bigotry FTW*
