In just a few short weeks (E3) we'll know what Microsoft has planned for this fall.
But if these rumors are true, it would be a brilliant marketing move. A Natal launch coupled with a slim launch would probably exceed the impact the PS3 slim had on its sales. This would help to get Natal into as many homes as possible, which is probably the only way Microsoft could get a sizeable install base this late this generation. And with a large install base, more developers would be inclined to make Natal games, which could lead to more existing 360 owners upgrading the consoles to a slim. If Microsoft manages to sell the hardware for a profit too, it would be a huge win.
This year's E3 may be as exciting as E3 2005.
