Reactions: Microsoft’s Project Natal to launch in October?

Now I’m putting that video up there just because I want you to see how sketchy of a source this is, but that doesn’t stop this leak from being potentially true. GameSpot is reporting that in an interview on Saudi Arabian state television’s Channel 2, the marketing manager of Microsoft Saudi’s Entertainment and Devices division, Syed Bilal Tariq, let the motion controller’s release window slip.

“Project Natal will be launched in Saudi Arabia on the same date it will be launched in the world,” said Tariq. “That is going to be somewhere in October. We will be in a position to confirm the date after E3, which is in June. But definitely the date is going to be in October 2010.”

U.S. Microsoft representatives neither confirmed nor denied the leak, only saying, “As we confirmed earlier this year, Project Natal will launch this holiday. We have no further details to share at this time.” So yeah…I’d bet on seeing Natal come October. I wouldn’t be completely surprised to see a Slim version of the 360 along with it. Microsoft has repeatedly stated that they’re treating Natal as a new console launch, so I would expect no less. Hopefully we’ll get a look at some actual games for the hardware this E3.
