Analyst uninspired by Natal
News - Cowen exec says PS3 is looking better
At least one games industry analyst isn't buying what Microsoft are selling when it comes to the forthcoming Natal motion control system. Cowen and Company analyst Doug Creutz tells Joystiq he is more taken with the PS3's rival system.
"Natal appeared to me to be a technological solution in search of a problem," Creutz offered.
"I had a very hard time envisioning playing Modern Warfare 3 using Natal. By contrast, I had a very easy time envisioning it (and enjoying it) using Sony's control/motion capture scheme.
The analyst believes Microsoft are barking up the wrong alley in chasing the Wii's casual audience, stating that asking players to upgrade twice in the same hardware cycle is a risky move.
