Steve Ballmer gave the first keynote talk at the currently ongoing CES 2010 in Las Vegas and "closed the keynote with a video about Project Natal, a hardware and software system that recognizes the body's movements without any device touching the body, making for fully controller-less gaming. The company says Natal will be available in late 2010."

Besides that, "Microsoft also showed off Game Room for Xbox 360, a new Live application that will allow players to essentially build their own arcades, complete with real, playable 70’s and 80’s arcade games. In other words, it’s like a legal, networked version of MAME. Initial shots showed multiple-level dream arcades populated with Live avatars playing games like Centipede head to head. Microsoft claims the final product will offer 1,000 games, and debut in the spring."
