If Arc or Natal are going to succeed it will be because of Wii cuz probably all 3rd party devs who makes games using Wii mote on Wii will port their games to PS3/360 cuz of motion controls for more profits.

Playing games using Natal:

Now serious, I believe that Natal has more commercial potential so it probably going to sell better, but as time pass I thing both will be abandoned.

first. i think natal should be pronounced "Natel". instead its pronounced natale..like isspanish or something. thats a bit dumb.

as for success... i think it will sell ok but not like the wii.i really have no idea on how casuals will take to it.

Nah it should be Nay-ttle (I think), you are right I have no idea why it's called Na-tall. Damn you MS and your marketing machine capable of bending grammar :x ---------------- On topic: it will depend on software support, IMO both will be lucky to have half the sales of the Eyetoy. I was interested in Arc after the E3 demo, but there seems to be no software announced for it. The PS eye was basically abandonned after its launch by it's creators anyway. I was dissapointed when they didn't show any games for Arc at TGS last year too. However if they incoporated arc controls in a game like Demon's Souls I would buy it day one :D Seriously though, what peripheral except the DS1/rumble pack actually succeeded in the history of video games?

In the way that they're being used right now, I don't like it. I'd like for Natal to be used more like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wXx3vMy_AQ&hd=1

Because right now, it just makes people make a fool of themselves. And while it is fun to watch people dance around like fools for a small while, it wears off fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGvYFAYqRRw

And I don't care for the Arc at all, really. The GTA IV SixAxis controls are good enough for me.

Neither will be a success. It amazes me how many people think Natal is going to be a resounding success and sell boatloads. If history has taught us anything, add-ons sell like crap, divide communities and....sell like crap. Nintendo did it right by bundling their motion sense with the actual console. Which is what MS and Sony should wait to do with their next consoles.....I'd also like to bet half the people who say Natal will be a success say the Apple iPad sucks and will fail. (It will outsell Natal and Arc combined.)
