Next-Generation Xbox will make Kinect mandatory according to reports
Every console will be coming with a Kinect, although it will be a much more advanced version of the Kinect, right out of the box.
The new Kinect will apparently be capable of tracking up to six people at the same time, and can track smaller things such as hands and fingers, facial recognition, and even facial expressions.
According to reports, the next-gen console will also have multi-tasking capabilities, including the ability to run more than one game at a time. Another feature could be one that allows you to "suspend" a game, meaning you can switch to another game and then back without losing your exit point in either.
Also, reports say that unlike the Xbox 360, all Durango consoles will come with a 500GB internal hard drive. Also, full disc games will require mandatory installation on the first boot-up, but the installation can be done in the background while you are playing the game.
Recently, reports from Edge have come out that the new Xbox will require an always-on internet connection, which will allow Microsoft to detect and block the people from playing used games.

HallSOGHallMTVyay Oh good, force the consumer to buy something that barely works. Great plan.
I know, my Kinect is a piece of junk. I regret getting one.
I avoided that whole mess >:D
Hopefully it doesn't add to much to the bundle or is atleast optional.
Hopefully it's optional
well this says that it's mandatory meaning it's required so...

yayMazur oh cool, so the console comes with Kinect? not that i don't mind not having it or anything lol.
sounds kinda like microsoft wants to watch it's users though....
Cool? Not really. This just gives them a reason to charge an extra $100-200 for a broken camera.
oh of course, if it breaks you have to pay for it -___-
i dont like this though because it seems like Microsoft wants to watch their users more o.O

I haven't gotten one yet, and I don't plan on it. I've seen enough fail gameplay footage of it.

phlegmSOG Who knows what to expect from the next Kinect...
I agree, people don't know what they next Kinect will be like. I wouldn't mind having one, I didn't buy the previous one. Seems pretty cool to me.
It's a glitch thing, that's it. Sensor on it is also bad.
