I saw too many things wrong that I didn't care to post the full correction. Montana covered quite a few points.

I'll just say that the production cost of the camera in Natal is supposedly only about $20, so add in the other hardware and microphone and it seems to be no where near $100-200.

The rest... just realize you have a very narrow minded view on the subject and apparently can only see one outcome where many exist. These new controls are not meant to "destroy the wii", but they will take some interest of casuals and take some selling impact from the Wii.

Oh, and MS stated with Natal that they are targeting the 60% of households that still do not own any console. They are targeting people who don't even own a Wii because they don't like the idea of a controller at all. I've seen people play with Wii-remotes and suck, so if you really think these kinds of people don't exist, well that is another facet to your narrow minded view.

I also covered the covered Montana poinst.

A wii Remote Plus Nunchuk costs 60$. How can Natal camera cost the same or a few more? No way. Microsoft also prices an wifi adapter and HDD at insane prices. Don't expect the camera to be nowhere below 100$.

 

Oh, And don't believe at Microsoft statements. They use to say many bullshit like "Wii is fad"; "we are not interested in gimmicks"; "We are the market leader" and yeah... All those statements are so true that it hurts my soul.

I should also not believe you.

Anyways, you only covered like one of Montana's points, and it was an aweful rebuttal.

Oh and guess what, the MS Vision camera currently costs $60 and includes one arcade game, a headset, and a year of XBL (XBL + Headset = $60).  So obviously that camera is very cheap if they can make a deal like that.

You are a Wii fanboy and as such you obviously see no way for these other devices to succeed.  I already admitted that this will not put either console ahead of the Wii in sales, but what it will do is take away some customers from the Wii and guarantee that next generation will be very different with all 3 having some motion in the mix.

All I heard was, "They won E3 for expanding on a technology and making it better with a newer, more innovative approach" (talking about Microsoft).

And to be fair, every technology company copies each other in one way or another.  It's life.  If they didn't, we'd be stuck with one version of everything, no competition, and having to deal with only one level of quality where a better one could exist.
