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.

Oasis Play as you install? Good idea, but I'd rather wait than stress all cores like that.
Also, if it comes with 500gb, and every game comes on a 50gb blu-ray (if all 50 is used) that means after 10 games you'll need more memory!
Nice thinking but hopefully that ain't the case

I'm really glad they made it so if i bring a toilet into my room magically and take a dump on it, kinect will track my movements and the footage will be sent back to microsoft. I also love how if i throw my kinect out the window due to hating it, i won't be able to PLAY A GAME WITH A CONTROLLER. Also, if my internet goes down for a couple of days, I WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN ON MY CONSOLE. Even better, i now cannot borrow a game from friends, i'll have to go into stores and buy a new copy of a game such as banjo kazooie nuts and bolts. OH WAIT..?

You guys are just thinking bad thoughts, maybe you can not access the xbox without showing your face, maybe you can't access your account without your face/height/voice, you guys are being rediculous, think positive.
