Microsoft on New Xbox 360: We're "Not Even Halfway" There (PC World)

 

Published 6/19/2009 at Yahoo! News: Personal Technology

PC World - Okay, settle down gossipmongers, Microsoft says all this talk about an upgraded Xbox 360 is not only wrong, it's missing the point. There won't be an upgraded Xbox 360 next year, and in fact, we're only halfway through the current console cycle. What's more, Project Natal, the company's no-controller 3D motion and voice recognition technology is being designed for the existing Xbox 360, not an imaginary "performance-upgraded" one. (link)
