Michael Patcher Says Oh My Natal Pricing Might Be Slightly Wrong…

Michael Patcher — the big mouth analyst for gaming — has predicted Natal pricing, incorrectly. Captain obvious here was recently interviewed by Industry Gamers where he said that he might have been wrong about the motion technology’s price tag.

“I probably aimed too low with my $50 Natal comment, as I’m sure that consumers will come to believe that the product and software has a lot of value. That means to me that Microsoft may try to price higher than I guessed on the Pach Attack segment,” Pachter admitted “Regardless, if consumers think that Microsoft is providing a lot of value with Natal, it could be priced higher.

He was asked about the impact on the gaming scene, where he commented by saying, “I don’t see either expanding the GAMING audience, but do see them expanding the user base beyond the core gamer in the household. I do not expect the multi-user household to buy a significantly higher number of games, but think that once these other household members are introduced to the PS3 and 360, they may begin to enjoy the many features of each, and are more likely to justify movie downloads, joining Netflix, or whatever is planned in the future, as the consoles are more approachable with motion controls.”

Thanks Mike, we’ll take note of this.
