XBox720 to have built-in Kinect 2?

Posted on Thursday, 1 December 2011 by Speed, source: Eurogamer
Again we get some spicy rumours regarding Microsoft next console.

This time it's Eurogamer who brings some new juice regarding the Xbox720 (lacking a better name for the moment) and more specifically the news that according to "sources", Microsoft's next will have a built-in Kinect 2 that's so accurate it can read lips. Yes, you read that correct, it can read your lips. And that doesn't mean it can't hear you as it will also feature voice recognition!
The intention is that Kinect 2 will offer improved motion sensing and voice recognition.

One development source told Eurogamer that Kinect 2 will be so powerful it will enable games to lip read, detect when players are angry, and determine in which direction they are facing.

Kinect 2 can track the pitch and volume of player voices and facial characteristics to measure different emotional states.
Furthermore, Microsoft's supposedly plans to again release two different versions of the next Xbox, much in line with their original setting of the Xbox360 Arcade and the full-blown Xbox360. The new models will aparently come as a "light" version that will function as a Kinect-themed gaming portal, while the big budget version will be targeted at hardcore gamers and will feature harddisk, optical drive and backwards compatibility:
the first is a "pared down machine" to be released as cheaply as possible. It is likened to a set-top box, and will act as a Kinect-themed gaming portal.

The second is a "more fully-featured machine" with optical drive, hard disk and backwards compatibility. This would be aimed at hardcore gamers and released at a higher price-point.
Microsoft is expected to unveil their next console at E3 2012 but the publisher of course tends to "not comment on rumour and speculation".
