Ако помните на пресконференцията на Microsoft на E3 2009, заедно с обявяването на Natal, беше обявено, че все още няма нужда от нова конзола и че сегашната е достатъчна.
Поредното изявление в тази насока беше направено от Фил Спенсър от Microsoft Game Studios:
Microsoft Game Studios’ Phil Spencer – speaking to Develop in a new interview published today – suggested that few are signalling for a new Microsoft console.
“Do we need to sell a new console at some point? I don’t think we need to right now,” he said.
“We’ll wait until our experiences are at the right point, like we have done with the Natal camera. We’ll wait until everyone is ready for it from a software perspective.”Spencer echoed the sentiment of Xbox division VP Don Mattrick, who notably stated that a Natal-powered 360 is – essentially – a next-generation console.
