Rumor Debunked by microsoft[/color][/size]



Remember when Shane Kim acknowledged that the Project Natal launch would be more like a console launch than a simple peripheral launch, saying, "Conceptually, the launch of Natal will be like the launch of Xbox 360"? Well, 1UP is reporting that, if its sources are correct, the Natal launch will be a new console launch! "Microsoft will not only release Natal as an add-on for the Xbox 360, it will come standard with the next Xbox console," 1UP writes. "Yes, there will be a new Xbox console next fall."

Lest you think this is going to be a simple bundle, Natal camera included, 1UP "heard it will be considered a new platform and carry a new name (Xbox Natal?)." Suddenly, we're reminded of the rumored Opus and Valhalla chipsets, Valhalla which would combine the 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU into one superchip, with reduced cooling and power demands, and Opus with a 65nm CPU and a 90nm GPU which seems more of a step back. With that, Microsoft could make a smaller – more Wii-esque if you will – Xbox console, perfect for the mainstream consumer.

Incidentally, that chipset is expected sometime around 2010 which is precisely when 1UP pegs the new console's launch: "sources point to next year's Game Developer's Conference as the target for its unveiling and Fall 2010 as the target for release." So, a slightly upgraded Xbox 360 coupled with the Natal camera, targeted towards your parents? Just because we're leaving the speculation there, doesn't mean you have to.

sick :p

I found the following on another site.....

Natal Won't Launch With New Xbox


By now I'm sure you'll have heard the rumours regarding Project Natal launching with a new Xbox in 2010. Well, up until now, we've pretty much ignored them ... why? Because we thought it was pretty absurd. Thanks to Aaron Greenberg, we know its not happening, and there's nothing we love more than shooting down a ridiculous rumour.

Greenberg told Eurogamer, "I think part of the excitement about this announcement is that in many ways we are delivering a next generation experience this generation. With that said, I can confirm that Natal will run on Xbox 360 so no new console investment will be necessary."

Furthermore, an unnamed senior Microsoft source told Eurogamer, "Don't believe nonsense on the internet is all I'll say. We'll do the right thing for Natal." The straight to the point answer we were looking for.

So there you have it. "No new console inverstment will be necessary." It doesn't get much clearer than that. You will have to pay for Natal though, so don't think you're getting off that easy.

Project Natal is going to be released at the end of 2009 and its for the Xbox 360 , Co MW2 will be Awesome!!!

Natal will be an epic fail

how so? Microsoft and Sony both are essentially taking everything that makes the wii what it is, making it better and applying them to better and more powerful consoles.

welll main thing for me is about wats the price range?

Thank god that means less money

hopefully this will cost under $150... or else their is no way i can afford it .... I can also see this thing fail in many ways in a FPS game. Unless, the FPS games will come with the gears you can wear
