Microsoft Set to Release Motion-Sensored Xbox Project Natal in October

Earlier this week, Microsoft's Saudi entertainment wing may have revealed the newest Xbox 360 add-on, the motion-sensing Project Natal. Whether Microsoft intended for this information to be released or not, Project Natal is set to launch worldwide in October.

Microsoft Saudi marketing manager Syed Bilal Tariq claimed he had "great news to share with everybody," then continued to say that Natal would launch worldwide on the same day which he said, "is going to be somewhere in October."

"We will be in a position to confirm the date after E3, which is in June," said Tariq. "But definitely, it is going to be October 2010, and we will have it in Saudi Arabia for sure."

It was previously reported by British biz site MCV that Project Natal would be seeing a holiday 2010 release date, so this new report comes as fantastic news for gaming enthusiasts. In addition, MCV has also reported that Porject Natal will come with 14 games and sell for around $80.

Consumers can expect approximately 5 million units for global shipment at the date of release, with at least two purchase configurations. This includes a solo upgrade, or bundled with the Xbox 360 console itself. Assume Microsoft to make this official at E3 in June.
