According to THQ CEO Brian Farrell, Microsoft's Project Natal will be coming 'late next year.'
Says Farrell during his company's Q1 earnings report: "With respect to the cycle itself, if you look at what's happening in the industry, the fact that we have for example, Natal from Microsoft, a platform addition coming late next year."
Microsoft has yet to set a release date for Natal but has hinted that it will definitely be launched next year.
Farrell also added that, like other large developers, his company is expecting hardware price cuts from Sony and possibly Nintendo or Microsoft and has factored that into future earnings guidance.
"We did anticipate price cuts coming this fall. Obviously we'll let the hardware guys announce both the magnitude and the timing, but again, just look at the hardware numbers and it would seem that a price cut would be in order by at least two of the three manufacturers," added Farrell, via GI.biz.
