Did Ballmer let new Xbox 360 slip out?

A few days ago, we reported on a rumor going around that there would be a new, upgraded Xbox 360 in 2010 that would incorporate Microsoft's Project Natal technology. Well, we didn't expect Microsoft to come right out and tell us a new one was coming--and a few Microsoft execs did indeed deny that a new 360 was in the works. But a few blogs are reporting that CEO Steve Ballmer let word of new Xbox 360 slip out in a speech he gave Tuesday at the Executives' Club of Chicago.

TG Daily was the source for the original story, and I have to say the quote sounds pretty dubious.

only thing to really do here is just wait and see what is really going to happen.

It's pretty obvious to me that he's talking about Natal and not a new 360 equiped with it. The entire point is to sell as many of these as possible to people with 360's.
