Microsoft: No new Xbox 360 in 2010
Those who follow gaming news already know that Steve Ballmer unleashed a maelstrom of a controversy Thursday when he reportedly let slip some comments suggesting that Microsoft was going to release a new Xbox 360 console in 2010.
“The new device will be equipped with technology that is ‘really, really close’ to an actuality. The console, which was described as having a ‘natural interface,’ will have a built-in camera with the ability to recognize movement and voice.”
Much to the delight of gamers around the world, word of a new Xbox 360 landing as early as 2010 spread like wildfire. Unfortunately, this is one rumor that is quickly turning out to be false. Microsoft and its team of spokespeople are now working overtime to retract and revise what was revealed through Ballmer’s loosely interpreted comments. According to Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb, the current Xbox 360 is not even halfway through its life cycle and will remain the company’s primary entertainment and gaming platform well into the next decade. He further adds that the new motion control platform, Project Natal, will be an integral component of the current Xbox 360 when it launches at an unspecified date in the future.

@ JoeTour
That is fast, i can’t wait. So are you ready for the Tour joe?
@ Alex
I agree with you. Superior selection of games, including several console-exclusive titles; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use Dashboard interface; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; plays hundreds of (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media Center extender; online Marketplace allows for easy purchases of downloadable full-scale games, minigames, movies, and TV shows. How can anyone not like this?. I’ll tell you who, the Playstation fanboys them douches.
xbox is easily the best next gen console.. i dont have one i have a ps3.. but the ps3 kills it wit extra features bluray, wifi, free online, wireless controllers, and memory options.. but an overpowered overpriced system thats hard to write games on is a fail in the real world..
@ richie
The Tour conquers everything, including a post about Xbox.
@ JoeTour
Lol i know. I own a xbox 360 and its great. But jea, Joe when Verizon posted the Tour they said they will announce a date and i checked that link and it only showed the Verizon branded Tour and had to sign up for emails. No date was announced when i remember Kelly had said a date will be announced along with the announcement. What gives?
360 pwns the PS3… All the fanboys just say Blu-Ray and free PSN. Big woop.
