Project Natal To Be Priced Like a Console

October 06, 2009 in Rumor comments 8

Microsoft haven't yet decided what price they will sell Project Natal at, however according to gizmodo.com it looks like it won't be cheap...

How much is Project Natal going to cost? Microsoft's still working it out, but Robbie Bach says at the very green roundtable I'm sitting at that it'll follow a price curve "like anything else," meaning, in English, it'll start at a more expensive point and get cheaper as it goes on. In other words, Microsoft's thinking about it more as a 32X-type add-on versus some tack-on motion controller.

So, I won't be surprised if it's $150, or even more, honestly.

    Pricey? Yes. But compare it to the Shovelware Hero 7's $100 guitar/dj/insertanything package and nobody will mind. They just have to market it right.

    Not saying that it's a good thing, of course.

      A bit pricier than many of us expected, but you make a good point about peripheral pricing in general.

      this is what i was thinking. GH, and rockband charge the same ridiculous prices for their peripherals. i'm sure their target market doesn't care about high pricetags.

    Hmm, I suppose it is a bit more reasonable considering that, its still more expensive than I expected though.

    You're shitting me? Microsoft best not make all games have it. That would be so unfair, forcing someone to buy it just to play a damn console they already payed for.

      I wouldn't worry about it...they didn't even allow companies to require the hard drive for games.

    I love it how early on everybody was saying that the PS3 had such a huge price tag, when in all reality it was only a bit higher than the rest of the consoles, just the other companies decided to chip the price down low but make the consumer buy additional stuff where as Sony just put all that stuff into one neat tidy package.

    It was a bad decision in my opinion, but hey at least they aren't being one of the competitors and forcing you into buying some network adapter thing for about $50 (last I checked)

    Anyway my point is the 360 is sort of taking the PS3's spot (when it was first released) while the PS3 takes the 360's old spot, and I think it might stay like that. Not to be a fanboy or anything, but it seems like that to me.

    Not hard evidence. But it will probably be similarly priced to a guitar hero controller. Probs cheaper.
