@Slimebeast: The way i see it, released separately, Natal and 720 would launch too close to each other. I already said last summer, that Natal looks like 32X if they are still going to put it out before 720. The lack of M$ hyping Natal should be indicative. Either it's not coming out or they plan to put it on their next console. Of course, there's a third option of them not knowing what to do with it and that it's not anywhere near ready. I would be very surprised if M$ didn't see the upcoming fail Natal has.
The whole Natal seemed to be just something quickly put together out of the tech the israeli company that developed the whole peripheral for PC, had.
Anyway, announcing a new console at the same time Sony releases its Wand, would be effective to cut out Sonys momentum from the peripheral and being the first one out to a new console race would bring advantage to M$.
@Naum: It's M$ type of leak, ie, intentionally put out.
