Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer spoke at the Executiveâs Club of Chicago today, reportedly informing attendees that a new Xbox 360 will arrive in 2010, one equipped with a ânatural interfaceâ and built-in camera. Sound familiar?
According to TG Dailyâs recount of Ballmerâs talk, in which he discussed âthe role of innovation in changing economic times,â the executive made mention of a new Xbox 360 configuration, one that Microsoft hasnât exactly denied.

Either Ballmer has been reading 1UP, who recently ran a rumor that Microsoft would be re-launching the Xbox 360 next year with its Project Natal tech built into the device, or heâs the CEO of Microsoft for chrissakes.

It makes a great deal of sense to bundle the tech with the stock Xbox 360, as built-in support for a Natal-powered version of the box would ensure greater software support. And Microsoftâs Shane Kim recently told Kotaku that the size of the launch of Natal would be on par with a new generation console launch.

Weâve contacted Microsoft to get one more comment on the matter and will update when we hear back.
