Microsoft confirms “new Xbox console in 2010″

June 18th, 2009 Posted in Business, Console, E3, Hardware, Industry, Microsoft, Xbox 360

So much for the denials Microsoft’s PR folks have been doing the last few days, as Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed that a new Xbox 360 will be released in 2010. Ballmer revealed the news during a speech at The Executive Club in Chicago. Ballmer stated that the new console will have built in camera and a revolutionary new interface.

It’s almost certain that he’s talking about “Project Natal”, which was revealed at E3. As for the “new console”, it most likely means a new version of the Xbox 360, with some updated internal hardware (like 45nm parts of the CPU and GPU).
