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.

Sounds good to me! Pcs don't get used games. So,.. It'll be fine with me, who knows. Maybe you can install via cd keys and you can buy cheap keys online like I do for PC

DeadlyDasher This sounds terrible, when I get back from the gym/playing basketball/whatever physical activity, I just want to sit down, rest, and play a game. Not wave my arms from left to right trying to select things.
It says it is mandatory to have it plugged in, not mandatory to play it. Derp.

Activez- 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.
I always install my games. It's nice it'll install while your playing now.
Hopefully you don't need the disc after installation!
I hate when discs get screwed because of my siblings.
Also I hope they fix the problem when you pick up the console while a disc is inside it scratches it.
(Sorry for posting twice, wanted to be a smart@ss the first comment)

This seriously makes me feel better. I've been wondering what they can actually do other than hardware upgrades, graphics, etc.
Seeing that there are new features that are actually NEW for consoles, makes me warm inside.
