In a blog post, on Thursday Microsoft said that the Xbox 360 is not even halfway through its lifetime. Microsoft also went on to say that they would not release a new Xbox until late into the next decade. Microsoft is planning to introduce Project Natal, a new gesture-recognizing controller, which is expected for release next year. Ballmer may have gotten this confused with the Xbox. Microsoft has not yet confirmed the release date.
"As the Xbox team stated at E3 two weeks ago, we are not even halfway through the current console generation lifecycle and believe Xbox 360 will be the entertainment center in the home for long into the next decade. Project Natal will be an important part of this platform, but we have not confirmed a launch date at this time."– Microsoft said in a blog post.
That doesn't completely shut the door on new hardware for 2010. Although Microsoft has said it plans to offer Natal as an add-on to the Xbox 360, it seems reasonable that the company might well come out with some new bundle or set-up to accompany Natal's arrival as it looks to convert all of those Wii owners.
