Microsoft's Project Natal To Be Priced At $149

Will Microsoft sell the millions of units to the casual and non-traditional gaming crowd that it anticipates at this price point? Will Sony destroy any possibility of success with its newly announced 31% of the console market and its significantly cheaper "Move"? Will either of them be able to take down Nintendo's money printer?

I think hitting the populace at this price is just bad for business. It is my not-so-humble opinion that Microsoft is misjudging the market for this kind of thing. Not only do you have to shell out the money for Natal, but it needs to connect to a 360; it is not a stand alone unit. Are 50 year old ladies gonna shell out the cash for a 360 and a Natal? Especially if they already spent so much time making their Mii? I don't think so.
