Next-Generation Xbox will make Kinect mandatory according to reports

4.5
According to a new claim/rumor that has come out today, the next-generation Xbox will require a Kinect sensor to be plugged in at all times to be able to function.

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.

They just want the most money possible.

If they don't allow used games, I will not be purchasing the console. I will purchase a PS4 if they allow them, if not then I won't buy either.

TheOriginalReFLeX Xbox games should always be 100% skill and competitive because competition is what makes games prosper. You should have to practice to be good at videogames.

Kinect will never be skill since it will never record your exact movements.

Also, the head of the enforcement team is crazy, insane and arrogant. Microsoft are greedy scammers and scammed thousands of accounts by banning them for false reasons. They lack the proof and evidence.

XBOX IS STUPID AND NO ONE READS THE TERMS OF USE!!!!!!!

:facepalm: Are you kidding me? Please tell me you are. Games are meant to be fun and for enjoyment. Yes theres some competion involved. But what about games such as Skyrim? I dont see any competition in that. Your point=invalid.
