Forums - Sales - NATAL is the Wii Killer -- FOX NEWS, GMTV + More PRESS agree!

This is not the wii killer. Agreed Darkghostboy. Wii is already a sucess for nintendo. As soon as it passed the gamecube they knew they had a hit.

Great tech, but for me i need a physical object, which in turn makes you feel like you are the game. You need some kind of controller.



It feels like they are trying to take away the causals away from nintendo with mini games. Think about how you would play an FPS. How would you run? Would you have to run in place.



WTF....you cant play but few select games on it.....if anything between MS and SONY, SONY is closer to being a Wii closer

Someone needs to update the GTA wii-killer graph - swap the years and add Natal.



It wouldnt be E3 if there wasnt at least one "Wii kiler" popping out of somewhere



Oh no Fox News ahhh~~




8th gen predictions. (made early 2014)
PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m
X1: 30-35m
3DS: 80-85m
PSV: 15-20m

Ah, Fox News, didn't they at one point claim Mass Effect was a Space-Rape simulator, letting you rape everything that moves? Either way, if it's on FOX NEWS you KNOW it's true.

On that note, I've seen so many "WoW Killers" and "Halo Killers" that while very good games, fail to actually kill anything, pretty much any time anyone uses that phrase, it means it's not going to happen.



I think Natal has a lot of promise when talking about core gaming... just not controlling core gaming (you would be able to turn these features on and off).

  • Facial recognition login.
  • Stand up or phone ring auto pause. Pause if someone walks in front of the screen
  • How close or far you sit from the screen can adjust text size.
  • No need for a remote or controller for movies and entertainment (seen in vids)
  • Motion minigames, QTE, or interactive cutscene... imaging having to put down the controller at some point to reach and try to save your friend from falling off a cliff or push them out of the way of danger.

I am not a game designer, I am sure they can come up with way better stuff than me.  These are actually lame but I think the point is made.  Add this to the casual experience turning one person's console into the household's entertainment center...

But, the success all depends on price, amount of games available, when it releases, and what the competition has available.

I just don't see it hitting early enough, with enough support, and a the right price.  Nintendo already has so much third party support and an install base.  Maybe I will be wrong.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
