Rumours are swirling surrounding a new Xbox console on its way in 2010 that is said to come packing Microsoft's Project Natal technology
We were suitably impressed with Microsoft's Project Natal at E3, but what we first thought would be a straight out console accessory is now rumoured to be the integral part of the next Xbox.
The rumour first surfaced last week, when 1Up reported the new console would be considered as a new platform, with new name, branding and packaging, and have all the Natal technology built-in.
Aimed at a mainstream audience to directly rival the Wii, the console is rumoured to be here next autumn and appear along shelves next to the current 360 – so there is quite a wait yet folks.
Microsoft has rather carefully responded to the rumours through Eurogamer, with a spokesperson stating: “I can confirm that Natal will run on Xbox 360 so no new console investment will be necessary.”
Far from an out and out denial, suggesting a new console won't be "necessary" almost suggests that a new console would be an option for those who wanted to fork out the cash.
What do you think? Does Xbox 360 need a revamp to stay on top of its game? Let us know your thoughts below.
