Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Swedish Retailers Spill Expensive (NATAL) Pricing

 

Swedish Retailers Spill Project Natal Price and it's Expensive?

At least three Swedish retailers are listing a price for upcoming Xbox 360 motion controller Project Natal and it's not good.

While UK sources were telling MCV that the motion controller would run $80, perhaps less, the three Swedish retail sites are all listing the device for 1,499 SEK, which works out to just under a whopping $200. Now keep in mind a $60 game runs nearly $80, but that's still a pretty penny if it's correct.

There's also a very strong possibility that this is a placeholder price. I certainly hoping that's the case, but I don't see a lot of people lining up to buy a peripheral that costs as much as the console that uses it.

This is Petter from Sweden. I've found Xbox 360 Project Natal on a swedish web site with a price point equivalent to around $149.99 (1499 SEK).

I highly doubt Natal will be this expensive if MS wants a Mass Market for it, Casuals are not going to spend that much..

Uh. And people were complaining about Move's tentative prices. I doubt both of them will be that expensive unless MS/Sony want more PSP Go's.

SKEEZER AND NINTENDO FAN GIRL ARE MY NEMESIS

YES TO BEER

you gotta know (like the article noted) , that games outside the US are very expensive.

US gets it way too cheap.

remember products in EU are much higher priced than Us ones

PS3 cost £425 at launch here = like $800

but it cost $600 in the US



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Its not gonna cost that much



If that's true...

It's not going to do very well.

It will need the best game ever made to be bundled with it to do well at that price.



                            

so it will sell well in US and not so well in Europe?



I doubt that they would price Natal at almost the same price as a 360
