lol a xbox360 with natal at 300$ hahahahahahahaha
natal alone will most likely be 150$ to 200$ microsoft lose enaugh money with the xbox they don't need to loose more with natal

This post made me lol

 

First of all, the Arcade is currently $200, and that has been sold bundled with 2 games (rrp $100) for the same price. I'm pretty sure they'd be able to bring out the bundle described, especially being as the $300 PS3 slim will be released xmas 2010 at the earliest

 

Also MS's EDD is running at a profit

Well the Xbox 360 @ $300 would be a slimline model also. At this point its hard to call it either way because we simply don't know how much a slimline Xbox 360 will cost and nor will we know what Natal will cost. Bah, I'll call it in favour of the Xbox 360.



Tease.

Steve Ballmer is too fat to allow a 360 Slim. He'd either have to buy a PS3 to play Fat Princess (to make him feel better about himself) or a Wii to play Wii Fit, and being the head of Microsoft, he cannot do either of these things.

Too bad he isn't working for Sony, he could run around trying to help plug all the money holes they currently have.  Maybe he could help Sony change their current forcast of a US $1.3 billion loss for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.

He can just get Natal and scream 'developers!' at the Milo for hours on end. If you saw how sweaty he gets, it must be a pretty good workout. Furthermore he can beam the sound of his voice to all the workers at Microsoft to make them work harder.

Depends on the games. If theres good games and applicatios then NATAL will win because of what it can do. if not then the PS3 slim will win.



Long Live SHIO!

Slimline 360? Is that even possible? With all the hardware problems and overheating, making the console smaller and more compact would not really be a good idea, would it? Wouldn't they seriously have to reconstruct the hardware layout? Maybe it's just me, but with all the component problems the 360 already has and had in the past, a slim line one will not work too well. I believe.

Yes its possible, you just believe in incorrect information. The Xbox 360 uses far less power as the chip revisions have progressed, its a little more than half as much as a launch unit with Jasper and we will be two further hardware revisions in by the time the end of 2010 comes around. Reconstructing the layout if anything would make it more reliable as they would be able to finally fix a few of the niggling issues with the current design which cannot be fixed without one.



Tease.

PS3 slim is just a slimmed down PS3. Doesn't add any new functionality or value. Not going to sell a lot better than the PS3 fat.

Natalbox is a 360 with added gimmicky motion controls. It's not going to sell until they start developing good games for it. Third parties aren't going to release anything worthwhile until a year or so after it launches (As the wii has shown, third parties are timid in relations to gimmicky motion controls, and have a hard time developing for new control schemes). Unless Rare develops a game better than Wii Sports, Natal is never going to catch on in the casual arena.

This...Except i think just the idea of natal is already appealing to casuals, just because its something new...
