This Patcher guy is a clown. MS sells an 802.11N adapter for $100 but Natal is supposed to be $50 dispite the high quality camera, cpu and speakers it includes?

As for Sony, Sphere could cost $30-$40 if you don't already have the "Eye"...

This is why MS and Sony will never capture the market like Wii did, however for people who already have a 360/PS3, spending another $100-$200 to be able to play ported Wii games may be an option ... until the next Wii price drop...

I'm sorry. I read another article that said Fermi was still far from done and that they were cancelling all current gpu projects and focussing on the embedded market and things such as the deal with Nintendo. Can't find the links though. They are giving up the high end in other words.

Check out the nVidia thread here . It contains recent nVidia news. NV announced they are stopping Intel x86 embedded due to Intel. NV announced they were stopping AMD x86 embedded due to AMD's small marketshare. They stated they'd continue with ION embedded for Atom. For non-embedded they are going forward with Tegra (Nintendo DS2 contender) and Fermi. They recently 'showed' Fermi and slipped the date into early 2010. I say 'showed' because it appears the Fermi card was a mock up.
