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.

oh god...once if this is true, this console is going to be a large target to get modded. And when that happens you'll probably be able to play games for free straight off your HDD. hacks on the original xbox 360 were low, but if you have to have an always on internet connection this means a lot of people well be looking for a way to play offline and/or just give the finger to Microsoft.

I could care less about the Kinect, as long as it isn't a required accessory that isn't included or is included for a much higher price.
Everything else sounds amazing, but I imagine requiring installation for every game, you'll run out of room. They better include more then 500 GB if true. I have 80 GB in DLC and 20 in 4 games.
If it always require an internet connection, I'll be pissed though. I sometimes go on trips without internet.

If M$ wants to blow this console after waiting so long, fine by me. My only hope is that Sony does not follow in Microsoft's footsteps. Then I'd have to switch to PC.

ExoticWolfs I like how they made it better, but having it in at all times? That's a bit gay. Also how you always have to have internet connection, that's a bit gay also.
the internet connection thing is just a rumor, I easily make a rumor. The xbox 720 is gonna be sold in only pink, and the only games on it will be My Little Pony games.

I always install my games. It's nice it'll install while your playing now.
