Report: Kinect only supports two ‘active’ players

Some tech specs obtained by retailers in the UK allege that Kinect will only be able to track two “active” players at a time. More details past the jump.

Some tech specs obtained by retailers in the UK allege that Kinect will only be able to track two “active” players at a time. The total number of people it can track, however, is actually six including the two active players.

The two-player limit was mentioned by PrimeSense back at E3, although further confirmation from them or Microsoft never came to light.

Another interesting thing laid out by the tech specs is Kinect’s hardware requirements. Xbox 360 owners won’t need a special port after all, just 175MB of storage space for the drivers and one USB port.
