[QUOTE="Orius, post: 4995952, member: 8863"] Natal faces the same problems as the Wii. Nintendo developments for the Wii are all supposed to be pretty solid; they developed the system in the first place, and they know what they're doing with it. Third-parties are more hit and miss. A lot of them have churned out shovelware crap that apes Wii Sports and Wii Play, yet those two titles seem to be indended by Nintendo as more of a demo of the system's capabilities (and in the case of Wii Play, also a sort of tutorial on the Wiimote). Some third-parties have tried making some real use out of the Wiimote but the results have been mixed with some good games and some mediocre. The same thing could happen with Natal. The developers may not step up to the plate and deliver games that are worth it. Microsoft also has the disadvantage of being more reliant on third-parties than Nintendo, so more bad third party games using Natal support will probably hurt them more. On the upside, Microsoft looks like they're being far more serious about competing with Nintendo's Wii controls and putting more thought into it than Sony did with their Sixaxis controller. [/QUOTE]
