Microsoft: Natal isn't the only new hardware coming for Xbox

In an (update: now online) interview with trade magazine MCV, Phil Spencer has said that Project Natal is just one of several planned hardware innovations that could replace the need for a next-generation Xbox 360.


When talking about Natal, he states, "It's not about trying to sell consumers a new piece of hardware at the wrong time, it's about evolving the platform continuously. And we are going to find things, like Natal, that are hardware related to also do that."

Could this mean that Microsoft has another peripheral in the works? It's pure speculation at the moment, but Microsoft has always spent big on research and development so there's doubtless more stuff in the labs it can bring out.

Any guesses on what this could be?  New hard drives?  More RAM?  Etc.

It won't replace a need for a new console.





But war... war never changes

Bigger hard drives, I hope. But not too expensive, please!



A blu ray add-on!!!!

Im gonna be the fist to say it.

 

 

Xbox 720 addon/ stand alone.

 

The 720 will have a simular interface and coding would be simular. It would plug into a USB port. Each game made for 360 will come with a 720 HD-DVD disc,kinda of like how DVD/Blue ray combo,you buy the blue ray you get the DVD with it. Basically extending the life of the 360.

 

720 = better graphics/better CPU ect

I wish they released an add on for the 350 that plays genesis/32X games...

That is exactly what I think when I hear about extending a console's life with add ons.
