Title: Microsoft sources play down reports of new Xbox in 2010 News Post by: Tanya on June 17, 2009, 05:39:04 PM Microsoft sources play down reports of new Xbox in 2010 News
Sources close to Microsoft have downplayed 1UP's report that a new Xbox console will launch in autumn 2010. Aaron Greenberg, director of product management, 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." Another senior Microsoft source familiar with Project Natal said: "Don't believe nonsense on the internet is all I'll say. We'll do the right thing for Natal." On Friday 1UP reported that a new Xbox console would launch in autumn 2010 with slightly improved hardware and backwards compatibility with Xbox 360. Rich Leadbetter, editor of Eurogamer's Digital Foundry channel, also casts doubt on the prospect of an autumn 2010 launch for a new console.
