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.

This rumor about blocking used games really has me concerned, if this does in fact become a reality, I'll be switching consoles. It's a Money grab anyway you look at it. This threatens to do to Gamestop what Netflix did to Blockbuster Video.

Oh I misread, it does come with the console. But still, that's probably going to boost the cost of the console.
