There was a time when I wanted to make a blog about video games, and this is that blog. I’m not really posting anymore, so there’s no point in this, but I can’t quite bring myself to closing this blog.
With that said, I can confirm that Natal will run on Xbox 360 so no new console investment will be necessary.
If the intention was to unambiguously deny the rumors of a new Xbox, the person who wrote that sentence ought to be fired — because the “necessary” bit is all but confirming the possibility of a hardware upgrade coming soon (presumably with a better video chip and more RAM, both of which are totally unrelated to Natal but would be a welcome upgrade). I’ve always expected Microsoft to proceed that way, with past and future games remaining compatible with both versions of the console for as long as possible — just like on PC.
