Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Analysts see Project Natal adding billions to Microsoft's revenue!

.jayderyu on 26 January 2010

Let's not forget that analysis made the judgement that Nintendo that the Wii would fail and Nintendo would be leaving the industry.

This assumption was based around the idea all previous generation success was about pushing hardware and that PS3 would come out on top because of this.

Now the these people are saying MS will succeed with Natal because they saw that Wii was a success.

It's become extremely obvious that analysis people do not analyse anything. Nothing. They just copy and paste the picture of success never ever realizing what made the product successful in the first place.

Analyst these days are a joke.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Godman Sachs - not Goldman Sachs.
They don't deserve to have the word 'gold' in their name, after all they have done and with all there papergold.

Did the Wii fail?

No.

Why do we care what these analysts think, what do they really understand?



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

If Natal DOESN'T add billions in revenue during its life then it's a complete and utter failure. MS is putting way too much behind it for it to not sell massively. Now let's see them boldly predict whether or MS actually makes any PROFIT off the deal. That's a hell of a lot more meaningful than revenue at the end of the day.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

Oh, boy.
I think none of this will happen.
But let's wait and see.

If its affordable, I don't see how it can fail.

Because the fact that something is affordable doesn't mean the pepole are going to buy it.

Well it can cost 10 dollars, but if it doesn't work well, it'll fail.

And if it doesn't do this, look for Wall Street to end up forecasting that motion control has been proven to be a fad, and the Wii is doomed. All the while, Nintendo continues to rake in the cash.

Amazing Wall Street forecasts things for a product whose release date is not set, whose game library is unknown, whose price point is speculation, and whose ability to actually do what it is trying to do, is not defined. But hey, I guess someone there has to do it.

Why do they deserve the name "God" either?  In what capacity are they God-like in what they are doing?  How about Gadman (not again) Sachs?
