I have a feeling it will be some what expensive on its own (around $100), but I see a bundle that includes Natal for around $250 without a hard-drive and $300 with one. Both MS and Sony are pretty much going to have to bundle their motion controls with their consoles from now on if they really want to get the Wiicess anyways.

they should sell natal for $175.

Everyone want's to see Natal at work, be they Sony fans or Nintendo fans. That is just what Microsoft wants. Curiosity is a wonderful tool to sell things, especially electronics. Also, how come not many people are picking up on the "Leaked" price of $149 as that being a ploy by Microsoft to feel out the market? They got so much feedback and most of it points to everyone is willing to pay $99 or so for it. So I wouldn't doubt they shock everyone and sell the thing for $99. I still see them doing a Natal/slim 360 bundle for $250 because it's the best way to get the new tech out there.

$79.99-89.99 is all they should be selling it for.

i dont mind if really work, i may finally see as somthing whit value and get 1 for myself,but not at that price$250
if when they come down in price to somthing like $99_$150 range then i may...... im saying the box whit natal

I want Natal and Move to be good because then Microsoft and Sony will have to get competitive and we'll be the winners.
Prices, games and all types of offers means more for the gamer as a whole.

NATAL will be cheap.
MS "leaked" the 150 price to "mind-condition" people.
So that when it comes out at $50
... people will think it's a steal.
(... of course there will be a lot of people who'll fall for it.)

I cant be bothered to read all the arguing but you have to listen to people that are trying to get an idea based on the hardware.

IR camera
3D camera
HD positional mic array
On board cpu

that adds up its not cheap tech remember the IR camera is powerful enough to pick up movement in very low light.

I agree with the article they will price it alot higher as a stand alone product hoping people will just buy a bundle.

its microsoft so it will be expensive

nuff said

im just wondering how expensive

what if MS uses Natal to take pictures of those playing pirated games, so they can really go after them.

its really in the same position Nintendo revolution was

1. nobody knew what it could really do
2.people are very interested to see how it works with them
3.Media in general all have their eyes on it
4.its bringing a new element to game (and i believe its also working with PC's too* weird*)

well begin to disagree N4G i know, i know, THERES NO WAY NATAL IS GONNA succeed YOU 360 FANBOY!!!!

P.s i dont own an xbox but i will if there is a slim

I'm hoping for a price no more than $100, if it's less than that, even better.

How much is WiiFit?
How much are Wii Controllers?
How much is Sony Move?

Pretty pricey if especially if you are want the whole family to play.

It's one device that can do much more than the competition. So if it was $150, would it really be that expensive in the long run.

It riles people up and gets them talking about Natal instead of Move. Then when Natal releases for $60-75 instead of the $50 that was originally talked about, the price will seem like people are getting a bargain. I also believe they will announce a 360 Slim w/Natal for around $219. The Arcade cost MS well under $200 to produce now with the Jasper chip and other cost reductions and adding Natal in the package at that price would probably allow them to still break even. At this point anything that brings them back up in console sales gives them time to hold out on the next generation.

im going to take a guess and say it will be called the motion or xbox motion

The new appointment is concerning!

I stopped reading that site years ago, it kinda went looney.

For the 9 millionth time Xbox is dead. They are acting like no company ever has had people retire or resign

Fuck them both.

-Everyone

I was asking AIs to draw me the Shy Guy from Mario Kart without shoes and failed. Then this report with this image appeared.

I disagree. Xbox died 6 months ago when they became a third party publisher. They also quietly withdrew from hardware manufacturing then, they just didn’t announce it.

I mean with halo , gears and Forza on ps5 it’s pretty much a wrap no ?

its definitely on more shaky grounds than ever.

I wait for the day that Microsoft announces that's it, no more Xbox console. Pop your games onto the PC, PS5 and Switch 2, then wait for PS6 and Switch 3. It makes sense, it's going to make them more money. I remember the generation that had 4 consoles, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox and GameCube, also the PC. We're never going to see a single format, although consoles these days are just PCs. Looking at the cost of the PS5 Pro, how much is the PS6 going to set us back? One less console is better for everyone's pocket.

If there's still a console called Xbox and all the IPs are still there, then there's no doubt that Xbox is alive. I don't care who runs it or how... as long as I like their IPs and they're high quality. Of course the fanboys will suffer, but that's an EGO problem, not a specific experience problem on a preferred platform. It's simply rebranded to Microsoft Gaming and can still be experienced through Xbox.

Everything is going to crap 💩 Hope we can come out of this but the things aren’t looking great

With most of their popular exclusives releasing on their rival console which is PS it's basically a wrap for the XB platform, now they're basically a 3rd party video game developer & publisher
