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.

gamer649 The thing about needing kinect is stupid. What if you don't have room? What happens then? The thing about always needing the internet is stupid too. What if you can't afford it? You aren't allowed to play?
That's what I am thinking. I have a medium sized bedroom where I play my xbox and there is not enough room for the current Kinect, so hopefully you won't still need a 6 foot open space to use it.
But being able to switch games mid way through sounds amazing. Hopefully that is true.

VEVO I need a job. This sounds amazing.
It sounds as if all they want is for you to spend as much money as you can.

iamhazardz I think making kinect mandatory is dumb, for some people it would be an unnecessary expense.
Imagine if it breaks and then you can't play...
