Squilliam on 23 June 2009
| Reasonable said: There is new Xbox - it's just 360 with Natal. There will be another Playstation, and another Xbox - probably... but not for a while. So in fact soon we're likely to see 360/Natal and PS3/"wand" being sold as a new SKU. |
All companies deny any rumours about their future plans. I know that the Natal camera is designed for the current Xbox 360s on the market, but what I don't know is if future Xbox 360s will get an internal upgrade of the sort handhelds get from time to time. Unless a large proportion of consumers start using the interface games simply will not be created to take advantage of it so consumers will not buy it. The only way around this is to bundle the camera with a singificant proportion of consoles sold. Its this bundle which makes me consider the possibility of an upgraded SKU which moves the processing load off the camera and internalises it into the console as that would likely be cheaper longer term.
Tease.
