(Wii owner) Unless Nintendo has something VERY big and unexpected up their sleeves, they are worried. Unless Sonyhas something VERY big and unexpected up their sleeves, they are terrified.
I'm quite excited for this. Whether people want to admit it or not, the future is finally here and controllers are going to be extinct in a matter of time.

(PSWii) I don't think Nintendo needs to worry too much, they have an install base already. Sony has to worry no matter what because they still aren't making money.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
| SaviorX said: Well, lets look at the facts. It is only capable of being used by one person on a 360 (so far) so splitscreen games are out the window. I didn't see the video, so I don't know what it looks like, but if you have several wires around you, ***it could prove more complicated than equipping a Wiimote.*** It costs around $200. By the time of release, it may get down to $150, but still, $150 for that and $199 for a 360, extra money for a harddrive, ****you might as well save up $50 more dollars and get a 360. *** ***If you already have one, I don't know if you'd shell out $150-$200 for that, with no games in your current library being compatible for it. Plus, with the Wii being out 3 years, I'm not surprised that this has the potential to be better. Look at the MS avatars compared to Miis*** ***= separated by opinion. |
If this is true, about the price being $200, then it will be nothing more than a fad. No one ould pay $400+ for a console with motion controls when one already exists for $250
| Seihyouken said: It's definitely revolutionary and approchable, but that's about it. It neither appears to be fun nor convienent and it won't replace the controller for these reasons. The fact of the matter is that pressing a button is easier than swinging your arms around. However, the voice recognition is impressive I could definitely see things being done with this. |
Clearly you've missed the entire point of Natal, then.
Looks interesting for sure - not sure that many current 360 owners would want to stand for hours on end playing though. The real test of this, I think, will be can they use it and games for it to broaden 360 demographic appeal?
Also, although I thought the Milo segment was interesting it looked very scripted. I doubt he could respond to anything you might chose to say and would imagine at this point, but it does look interesting.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
Can we stop posting this article?! They have no clue what the price or release schedule will be!
They had no information what so ever and are merely guessing. If anything I say it will be around the $50-75 range to buy the peripheral, and will be bundled with every new 360 whenever it launches.
Also, it has the ability to track multiple targets so you people who think it can only be one person need to stop saying that!
Oh and that guy that posted all those "facts" about it... well basically all those were either speculation or just plain wrong.
Nintendo already has it's response to Natal, it's call wii motion plus. Natal probably won't be successful for three reasons: It's not standard, it'll be $200, and it probably wont have a great launch game akin to wii sports.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
(PC) If we would be only talking about beating Wii in showcasing Shiny Cool Technology, I would say they won. Butif we are talking about popularity, and sales, thy need to show up huge Natal-based software lineup, because, well, Software sells hardware.
It depends on when it comes out, and what it's fighting against. I doubt this is going to see release before Christmas 2010, and might come out as late as Christmas 2011 or early 2012. What if Nintendo announces a new Super Wii at E3 next year, with significantly improved motion controls and HD quality graphics?
IMHO, the quality of the control didn't look good enough for 'hardcore' gamers. It was having real trouble figuring out how that weirdo with the glasses was moving, and it kept glitching. It will obviously improve in the next 2 years, but I doubt we'll be playing Halo 5 on it.
Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.
