Forums - Microsoft - Natal price guess- just for fun

here in the UK i think it will be about £110 stand alone or £210 with a 20gb 360 with the warrenty for all new 360's dropping back to 1 year. Just a quess.



 

 assumption is the mother of all f**k ups

I'm guessing $150 in the US since the rumored Swedish price includes taxes and such.



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

This price is more realistic I feel. But it is all speculation at this point, we will know at the MS natal conference. One thing i will say though is i doubt it will be priced at patchers ridiulous $50 statement.



£120 sounds about right to me. More than Move for 1-2 players, cheaper for 4 players.

Unless you're comparing 4 friends having there own Natal with 4 having their own Eyetoy and Move controller, and bringing them with them when you want to play together.



That swedish price pretty much has to be Natal with an arcade or a misprint.

Given MS's goals, Natal + a game has to be no more than $79, and bundles have to start at $199.

I expect to see $149 arcade, $199 arcade + Natal and $299 240 gig elite + natal.

if thats the case MS will selling natal at a loss.



Well if we're being honest the price really doesn't matter all that much. What matters is how well it works. If Natal works like Microsoft claims then people will buy it even at $200 on the other hand, if its as flawed as I'm expecting it to be then it won't sell at $50. (That's not because I'm a PS3 fan btw, I just think that if it worked well we would have seen more about it by now.)

For S's and G's though, I think it will be $100.

I don' t think they will be selling at a loss.  You have to remember that MS will probably sell ~15 million in the first year.  I'd say that they will start selling at COGS and by the end of the first year they will be at or below the fully loaded cost.  3DV was planning to offer the TOF version at sub-$100 levels 2 years ago without scale.  This version is much less expensive to produce - no TOF camera and no primary processing chip - and will be produced at consumer scales.

Now, one thing I could see is $99, $199, $299.  That wouldn't be terrible.



I think that the 200$ price is fake....sounds too extreme tbh. I think it will be kept below the 3 digit mark (<100$) or else it will be simply too expensive to suceed imo....but it's MS we're talking about so, who knows.



$99 with natal sports resort+
