Forums - Microsoft - Natal is about “winning” this generation, says Kim

Haha, good luck Microsoft. Now, can we see some software? I hope you're not relying on that Breakout game.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I guess they will be having a big "trade in a Wii for Natal" campaign..



he is silly everyone knows that Sony will win this gen because Slim and Pricecut!!!


But to be serious, it will be quite interesting how much popularity can project natal gain and how will it be implemented in games.



I'm agree with Pachter here (and that's unique situation I must say). It's not entirely a game controller, there's a bigger picture. Think of MS as not a game company, Natal is a move in favour of their core business.

Normally they all do, but this gen Nintendo is using the Blue Ocean Strategy which involves non-competition, and Sony want to pretend like they're market leaders because their consoles are the most technologically advanced.

I do not think that Natal is a simply reaction to the Wii.

 

Check this video: Bill Gates talks about Natal more than two years ago. (it was so obvious but we did not see it!)

He talks about the Wii and how Natal is different. They probably worked on this before the Wii was released.

Check 6:30.

 

The whole interview with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates is great. I can highly recommend it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Jees... Natal will likely be a blip, nothing more. Which add ons have seen success? Eye Toy even on a console with 70% marketshare was'nt even that big a deal. It does'nt matter if its better.



Ynwa.

as long as its not shovelware crap i don't care who wins, i want good gamez!
