Most third-parties are already having a hard enough time coping with the development costs of current HD console games. It's hard to imagine Microsoft having much success convincing them to develop even more expensive games to take advantage of next generation hardware anytime soon.

Natal really is the equivalent of a launch of a new console but has the advantage of not having to create and launch an entirely new console in the process. It probably is the only viable way they have to stage a major attempt at attracting a much wider audience without having to wait years for their next console to be released.

So when do you think the next MS console would come out?

 

 

I think it'll be shown at E3 2011 and debut in September/November 2012 or 2013.
