Project Natal, the revolutionary new control method for the Xbox 360 console should launch late next year, the head of one of gaming's key publishers had said.

Brian Farrell, the boss of THQ, commented during a financial earnings call that he expected Natal to be released "late next year", while also giving his two cents on current console prices by suggesting that "a price cut would be in order by two of the three manufacturers".

Farrell's words back up talk made by Bill Gates earlier this month, where he suggested that the Natal techology was "little over a year away" and was also likely to usable on PC. As of yet, Microsoft have not revealed the official release for Project Natal.
