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.

The best part of the news is the Ballmer’s photo. Awesome in every way.
I dont mind that but project natal better be good.
xbox and cake is a lie
So Microsoft will exploit the Xbox 360 to its full potential. They should upgrade the current Xbox 360 with goodies like ” wifi, quiet processor, and Internet”.
@mpG4life
Seriously . Not much to really be updated on ever especially on a weekend .
So it’s coming in 2010, but the public may not know that because otherwise the sales will drop.
Ja, ja, ja… When I saw Ballmer’s photo I thaught he was talking about the better console I could imagine. Good photo!!!!

Well not to be an oddball but my motto is Sto Sto Sto Storm2!!! lol patiently waiting for that device although the Tour wouldn’t be that bad until the storm2 launches.
Good thing StevenGlansburg isn’t here blabbing ignorant comments about the Tour & Verizon. That dude is annoying.
Why all the hate for xbox? Its a great console.
@ stormrichie
The Storm will be sporting 2 processors according to the latest info. That would be fast, super fast browsing experience. If only they could add a slider keyboard on it that would be the game changer for me.
