I bet there are at lest as many publishers are working on the Wii. How many great games has that netted anyone? Quality over quantity. Stop upselling your product and show it to us so that it can sell itself if it's as good as you say. I'm tired of hearing all this damn talk. I wanna see some results.

70-80% of WORLDWIDE publishers. There really aren't that many that internationally release games (Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Square-Enix/Eidos, THQ). The last 20% is probably just Sony, Nintendo and possibly Valve (if you count them or Steam as a publisher).

Yeah thats sort of what i was thinking. I dont see how its a big deal. So 80% of videogame publish will publish a game for natal? So what.

Its also curious how he didnt use "third party" So im assuming hes not takin out % for Sony and NINTY for obvious reasons, and is also including MSFT.

I dont think any of us know exactly what this means but im inferring 70-80% of publishers who publish 360 games are working on publishing a game for natal?

Ho hum, i want to see more....this talk is getting as annoying to me as PD releasing a GT screenshot and acting like its big news. Show me some stuff that has less input lag and looks more fun than flailing at kickballs or throwing my arm out to throw paint.

They have a very cool tech, but i have yet to see it being used in any way shape or form that makes me excited. They havent even shown demos of in depth interface control in real time, for something thats going to revolutionize entertainment and functionality in the living room we havent seen anything and its supposed to be released within a year? Color me skepticle.

Unlikely. However, the Wii caught everybody with their pants down. I imagine that Nobody would want to get left behind like that again.

Natal will be so huge i want it now.

70% OR 80%

Is not even shure?

God tells me this is more hype-out-of-the-box...

I don't really know what to make of that figure. It could be good, it could be merely OK. It all depends on how much MS is relying on 3rd party publishers to make the Natal launch successful.

If they need a string of 3rd party titles at launch then 70% to 80% less than 1 year out from launch is not much to get excited about. If they said "all current 360 publishers are working on Natal games" then that would be impressive. If MS are going to let their 1st party titles do the talking at launch and rely on 3rd parties to come on stream through 2011 then 70%-80% is pretty good, not excellent but definitely promising.

Man Natal hype just keeps on coming. It makes me worry about Sony's commitment to the wand. They're either seeing it as a minor peripheral of little consequence to their overall strategy, something like a "you need to have it to stay in the game, but it's not where Sony gaming's core lives" which I think it a risky position; or they are keeping their powder dry so they can hit the global market with a shock and awe campaign that will get all manner of gamers and potential gamers blown away by its awesomeness, somehow if that's their plan I don't see it being quite to mind blowing as they might want it to be.

For Natal it's time to stop with the come hither looks and actually show a bit of leg. It's all very theoretical at the moment.

GDC and E3 will be interesting to watch.
