9. Built-In Kinect
Microsofts peripheral device Kinect was unprecedentedly successful. So much so that the idea that itll die out with the 360 is probably about as wacky a notion can get short of posing that with the new console, Xbox 720 pixies will clean your room while you play video games (which, by the way, would be awesome). Pixies aside, many
reports indicate that our new Xbox 720 will come with fully integrated Kinect capability as standard. So if, like me, youve been avoiding the hardware for lack of disposable funds, youre about to have your cake and eat it. I really do hope this comes to fruition. As a piece of peripheral hardware, the Kinect really is a revolutionary idea and although its got a long road to travel before it's essential kit for the hardcore gamer, I still feel that the potential applications are astonishing. Lets hope that this rumour is true, and that it also opens on to the idea that Microsoft will look to improve and integrate the Kinect more fully in the coming generation of games and software.
