Microsoft's project Natal to be called Kinect?
Microsoft's project Natal may possibly be called “Kinect” when it launches later on this year. Microsoft filed for a patent on April 26, 2010, attempting to register the trademark “Kinect.”
As Neowin reported back in May, Microsoft's code-named '”project Natal” would sell for $149 and be rebranded with a new name before it's debut. This name is expected to be announced at E3 later this month.
One forum member by the name of “Keiji” over at neogaf.com noticed an Italian banner ad on console-tribe.com, which lead them to discover what could possibly be the Xbox360 Slim. The flash banners include the word “kinect” during a preview of the “Xbox360 Slim.” The banner also mentions that the next will support a 250GB HDD and WiFi.
