project-natal-rumored-for-november-2010-release-with-50-80-price-tag-and-14-launch-titles

prjctntl-f_2-580

By the time November 2010 rolls around, we could all be residing on the moon, eating space cheese, and zipping around with solar powered jet packs. In the event that doesn’t happen though, we might still have Microsoft’s Project Natal to look forward too.

According to an MCV unnamed source, the motion sensing camera that turns your body into the gaming controller is rumored to have five million units ready for a November 2010 release with fourteen games at launch and a price point of $50 to $80 bucks.

Considering what the device does, this more than reasonable price range should all but ensure insanely high sales numbers — which, according to at least one unnamed publisher, is exactly what Microsoft wants:

“[Microsoft is] trying to get as close as possible to impulse buy”

It’s important to remember that while the information above supposedly comes from a behind-closed-doors conversation with unnamed sources close to the project, it is far from being an official Microsoft confirmation. In other words, treat it as a rumor, and resume daydreaming about your future life on the moon.

    $50…. to $80? They best be joking.

    You think that is too high or two low?

    $70 and $80 would be too high. We’re already getting screwed over at $60.

    I just want to make sure you understand that I am talking about the device itself being $50-$80 not the games that will support it. I happen to think that is a fair price point considering what a regular wireless controller costs or even a web cam for that matter.

    Oh I misunderstood. I thought the games for it would be releasing in that range. $50 – $80 is less than I would have expected the actual Natal unit to be. So not a bad price for that.

    I’m still sad that this thing cost us a Kameo sequel (I love the hell out of the original) but I’ll probably get it.

    Ok that’s what I thought David. I went ahead and reworded the headline a little to make it a bit clearer.
