Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Anyone actually think the Natal is gonna be a success?

If Microsoft can channel the media hype and frenzy that caused the Wii to be such a success.

It all depends on the games. Without any "blue ocean" games, it won't reach out to blue ocean gamers.

pick a day and flip a coin for my opinion. i need to see some actual games running on it not just demos before i can really form an opinion...but that won't come until next year most likely.

The current audience will probably accept it, but it won't move hardware.

Well what is a success for you? I think Natal might make it past 10 million. Is this a success?

10 million would be a success ofcourse. Even a couple million wouldn't be bad. Assuming none of that is bundled.

Basically I'm wondering do people think it'll have a big impact through out the life of the 360. Or just come and go.

Well if its bundled and comes with some WiiSports type software. It'll definitely help move hardware. But I doubt people will want to buy a console and additional accessories.

It will carry the Xbox360 for two years. In 2012 we will see the Xbox 3. 7 years is long enough for a console.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I say no becaust MS's first party Dev's are weaker then say Nintendo and you need that support when you're trying to convince people to buy an Add-on.

Good point. Wii would not have succeed without good launch software.

I know there is a lot of shovelware on the wii, but Nintendo has made top quality first party software. They just stalled a bit.

All Depends on if the games are good. If you build them, they will come...
