My theory on the Rumored New MS console
CrudeDarkness \| 5:58 PM on 06.18.2009	4 comments

Before I start, I would like to state that this is just me rambling. I know a thing or two about marketing so this is my theory of how Microsoft would do if it introduced a new console with Natal.

You know what I think. It would most likely be a 360 but with a different name.

Not only that, but it would be able to play 360 games and the 360 would be able to play it's games.

This is what would probably happen: In 2010 the 360 would get a $50 price cut before the new console launches (or at the same time). and this console would launch at a price of $299.99.

But there is a catch, even though the 360 would be cheaper than this new console, if you buy the Natal camera it would basically become pricier than the 360. This is the same trick that MS uses when selling their hard drives.

So in summary:

in 2010

New Natal console = $299.99

Xbox 360 pro = $249.99

Natal camera = $99.99

Xbox 360 pro + Natal camera = $349.98

If MS really wants to connect with the casual audience, then they will most likely price the NATAL at about $299.99.

I'm really thinking its just a bundle. Because realistically speaking how the hell do you integrate the natal into the console?

Its not like everyone keeps their console dead center at the foot of their TV.

But if in fact they release a sort of upgraded console power wise, boy will there be backlash.

I would be happy with a new console as long it doesn't have hardware bullshit

I think they will bring out a bread-maker in the shape of a unicorn that will play 360, Wii and ps2 games, and also toast an image of Bill Gates into your wholemeal. It's about as likely as what you just said.
