I don't see any way this could be anything but an EPIC fail. I haven't talked to a single person yet who actually WANTS Natal... most people have the same kind of statement as above, not wanting to flail arms and legs around to play a game. I sure don't. The marketing videos of someone playing a racing game with their imaginary steering wheel made me want to vomit...

If I wanted to move, I wouldn't be playing videogames.
Seriously, I've got a Wii and it's only fun with fiends, but I get annoyed pretty quick if I have to be jerking those controllers around when I'm playing alone.
Halo w/Natal? WTF???? My beer is gonna end up in the floor.
And that's bad!

One OBVIOUS thing that seems to ALWAYS get missed here on the topic of Natal...
Wii
3 Wii Remotes - $120
3 Nunchuks - $60
So including the controllers that came with the system, you are going to pay an additional $180 to play 4 players.
Sony Move
4 sets of Move controllers - I'll assume $55 each, that's the cost of Dualshocks.
So if that's accurate, $220 to play 4 players. This is also *assuming* you will not have to buy a Playstation Eye, that adds another $40 to the total, bringing us to $260
Xbox Natal - $150 to play 4 players.
Soooooo
Sony Move - $220 - $260?
Nintendo Wii - $180
Xbox NATAL - $150
Now... how expensive is NATAL? Also figure in that NATAL is going to allow for more options beyond JUST GAMES...
I'm still in a wait and see mode personally... But if you are looking at it the way I am, it's attractively priced, so that should be the least of the worries...

Wow now that's evidence. Yes assumptions r there but if assumptions r correct then super proof. With live camera we have pics. With natal we have pics and vids(compare to a skype talk) full body motion unlike wii and integration of natal uses I game, with full body.

Microsoft can't really make it any cheaper, it costs them exactly $150 to make one NATAL unit. The price will drop eventually, when the hardware gets easier to make.

Microsoft makes practically no profit on games.. That statement is retarded. I dunno why they even sell them. This third fiscal year (Marchish) Microsoft made $165 million operating profit... Microsoft's net profit for that same amount of time? $4.01 billion.
Microsoft's games and systems don't make shit. They just started turning a profit.

Yea they wont be making any money off it for awhile but they also wouldnt sell very many units if they bumped the price up to $200 or more, especially not with the way everyones hurting for money. Its MS though, im sure they can handle some money loss
