This what the new kinect has been build for:

 Higlights of the Awards and achievements across tv ecosystem Microsfot patent:

Claims:

receiving one or more user-specific reports of all linear video content viewing behaviors of the user
while using each of a plurality of different applications;


Descriptions hightlights:

At 308, method 300 comprises tracking user viewing behaviors of the linear video content. These tracked
viewing behaviors can be compiled into one or more reports and sent to the promotional service. Thus, at
310, method 300 includes sending to the promotional service one or more reports of linear content viewing
behaviors performed by the user while using each of a plurality of different applications. As explained
with respect to FIG. 2, the reports are usable by the promotional service to determine if the user-
viewing goal is met.

The user-specific reports of linear content viewing behaviors may be received from any device on which
the user watches linear video content. For example, a user may watch linear video content on a
television, computer, and mobile phone, and each of these devices may be configured to track the viewing
behavior of the user and send a user-specific report to the promotional service (e.g., via a common user
identification).

In some embodiments, each device may compile a report that includes all viewing behaviors of the user
across all applications on that device.

In other embodiments, each device may compile a separate report for the viewing behaviors of the user for
each application. In another embodiment, each device may notify the promotional service of every instance
of a viewing behavior, and the reports may be compiled at the
promotional service.

In a further embodiment, each application may be configured to track the viewing
behaviors across all user devices that include that application, and each application may send a report
that includes the viewing behavior from all devices of the user.

The reports may be aggregated by the promotional service and collectively used to determine if the user-
viewing goal has been met. Thus, at 212, method 200 includes determining if the one or more user-specific
reports collectively indicate the user-viewing goal has been reached

This is an extract of the patent. read it and you will realize teh new Kinect has not been improved for gaming:

If you don't call that spying I don't know what you call it!!?

Paranoid much? 

Oh you do know that Sony has a camera too that comes with the Console! I guess they are going to spy on you too right? :roll:

Reading between the lines below also mean that if you create a microsoft xbox one live account and installed for instance an Xbox one app on your mobile phone later, then the app will be able to track your viewing datas well, thats bad.

the user watches linear video content. For example, a user may watch linear video content on a
television, computer, and mobile phone, and each of these devices may be configured to track the viewing

the section mentionning that microsoft would able to track user viewing on multiple devices including computer and mobile phone is pretty worrying
