The OS will shut down kinnect when needed, plugged or unplugged shouldn't matter at that point.

This sounds rather strange, why would Kinect be spending GPU bandwidth ? I get why itd spend processing resources and memmory but GPU bandwidth ?

Since 10% extra power is a completly ephemeral thing here cause XOne hasnt been utilised to full potential yet, Ms can simply clain games that look better next year are a result of the Kinectless secret souce.


Think about what makes xbox one's voice comands special compared to other places voice comands are featured. It's always ready to be used no matter what you're doing. Phones and computers usually have to shut down all other parts of their respective operating systems in order to focus on the voice comands.

so in the upcoming games that benifiet from this, Kinnect functions will most likely be fully disable while the game is running as a sacrifice for the boost.

Yes but thats is processing power and memmory thats not graphics is it ? The article specifically claimmed that disabling kinect would give them more GPU badwidth, shouldnt it be CPU and memmory instead ? End result is game looks better either way but trough different means is what Im saying.

Kinnect does seem like a CPU thing to me, maybe there is more to it than just that........

The Kinect doesnt shut down. Its always listening unless you're on Netflix. For some god awful reason ive calibrated it and it doesnt hear a damn thing once I press play on a movie.

I know, I have a bone of my own. I meant after the new games roll out using the extra GPU, kinnect will probably have to shut down to run those games.

 

and yeah, I gave up talking to it mostly

Thats cool. I mean, its not like I ever really used the Kinect with my games anyway.

I don't believe them



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
