Natal is Microsoft's Luke Skywalker. It's an untrained orphan farmboy with blonde hair. It'll probably kiss his sister, kill his father, and blow up the Death Star. Yoda rode on his back while he ran through the forest, too. Yoda is cool. Did you see him totally whoop Count Dooku in Episode Il? That was awesome.

Wait. What are we talking about?

If we're talking about preventing the PS3 from overtaking the 360, yes.

I don't expect a great reception to Natal though, which is why I think the PS3 will end up overtaking the 360 next year (which will be pretty near the end of the generation, so MS could argue it doesn't matter much).

depends a 99 $ pricecut would do ALOT imo.

No, this is

 

But, seriously... no, it's not.

Xbox is doing fine in hardware and very fine in software.

It's not in need of "hope"

does it really matter what MS argues??? It's like Nintendo trying to say they didn't end up with third place last gen. because of how close they were to MS.

On topic: No, I don't think Natal is the only thing left. First of all, the 360 has a great library of games. Secondly, it still has room for 1, maybe 2 price drops. Third, you have Xbox Live which is a really big hit here in America. When I couple all of this with a 6 million console lead, I just can't see Sony catching up. It's not so much Sony's incompetence, but I truly believe MS will have something up their sleeves. To give away the lead now after this long would be a huge dissapointment.

Not because MS would argue it, but I think the argument has a certain value. The PS3 and 360 will probably end the generation in a virtual tie, with the PS3 catching up late in the gen...

edit - BTW the lead is 5.34 million right now.

Where have you been? Don't you read VGChartz? There IS no hope for the 360!

Seriously, no, and let's let the current trend go for a while before we start DOOOOOMING anyone.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

This is true. But couldn't that be said about the current position of the consoles as well? isn't a 5.4 million difference pretty much a virtual tie anyways?

All I'm saying is the braging rights MS has right now would completely be gone.
