Microsoft compulsively quashes Natal ‘impulse buy’ rumors

Sony’s said to be launching its PS3 motion controllers sometime early next year and, while that company isn’t always the most reliable when it comes to shipping things on time, Microsoft must surely want to get its competition out sooner than later. Last we heard, though, the 360 Natal attachment wouldn’t be ready to compete until next holiday season — but would at least sell for an attractive “impulse buy” price point as low as $50. Now Microsoft’s Neil Thompson (the same guy who told us Xbox2Go was a lie) is shattering your 2010 wish list already, denying last week’s report and saying the company has “a lot of things” left to figure out before its release. Something tells us MS will handle this a little better than the Wireless N launch debacle.
