It hasn't been downgraded.  They used Kotaku as a source, and Kotaku had no source.  Every retailer I have found with specs, says that it is 640x480 except play.com.

reasonable just posted a digital foundry article that talks about the specs of the unit and it says microsoft just cut the depth camera down to 320 x 240 to save cost.  It is a recent spec change though, so retailers probably won't catch up for a couple months.  

I read it, they have no source either.

Just to be clear I posted the DF thread as an interesting read - not because of anything specificaly to do with supposed spec changes.

I'd take the mooted drop in resolution as speculation until we see it officially called out by MS or by retailers - most of whom are still stating the higher resolution.
