Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has let it slip at an Executives Club event in Chicago that a new Xbox 360 will be shipping sometime next year, where it will be integrated with the company’s recently unveiled Project Natal, integrating a “natural interface” and a built-in camera. No idea on how this will affect the pricing structure of the new Xbox 360, but will such news dampen sales of the console in the meantime before the new and improved Xbox 360 is released? Perhaps, but it also depends on the pricing structure when the new model comes out. Hopefully Sony too will be able to keep up with the pace of a new and revamped hardware from its competitors.
