Accidental release of Robbie Bach CES video says new kit will 'revolutionise how people think about the games business'

Another developer leak confirms 2010 Natal

A Microsoft slip-up has accidentally released a CES video which confirms Microsoft’s Natal controller will launch later this year – as Develop’s sister site MCV revealed in November.

The Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in Las Vegas tomorrow, opened tonight by a special Microsoft keynote from the software giant’s boss Steve Ballmer.
