Yesterday we discussed a little about Microsoft Xbox 360 and its Project Natal, which was announced yesterday at E3 2009 press conference. The software giant has not yet announced a released date. This new system is Microsoft’s answer to Nintendo’s motion controller revolution, and I have to say that Microsoft will not have the edge once the Project Natal is released.
After the conference had concluded, G4 had a little conversation with John Schappert, Microsoft’s gaming executive and corporate VP. He was not giving anything away, and if he knew the release date, he was keeping it very close to his chest.
Schappert did say that Microsoft is not ready to announce a release date just yet, but G4 expects it to be some time later this year. Project Natal is unique for the Xbox 360, as it will do away with the controller, features will include an array microphone, depth camera and an RGB camera.
We will inform you of any new developments once we know more

Steve Ballmer quote:
We showed at a conference a couple of weeks ago the next version of Xbox, which will be out next year.
Bill Gates quote:
I’d say a cool example of that, that you’ll see is kind of stunning, in a little over a year, is this (depth-sensing) camera thing…
Brian Farrell, THQ boss quote:
With respect to the cycle itself, if you look at what’s happening in the industry, the fact that we have for example, Natal from Microsoft, a platform addition coming late next year.
So it seems to be no coincidence. )

It’s a add-on to the 360 not a new console
Playing call of duty with no controller would be awsome…anf i’d get a more real feeling of blasting nazis to their deaths!
