Rumor: an update to Kinect fitness add cross-game

The site The Verge (already the author of the revelation of the Xbox 360 to subscription, be 99 $ then founded), today published a new scoop : a future system update for Xbox 360 adds a feature called "Kinect Play Fit". It is a software that can monitor the amount and intensity of movement made with any game for Kinect fitness-not necessarily so)-then reported in a central area all statistics on our "pursuit" and an estimate of the calories consumed.

But that's not all: it seems that Microsoft will release an accessory called a "Joules", a band to be applied to the arm while play with Kinect similar to that already seen in EA Sports Active , that allow to Play Fit to monitor our heartbeat in order to calculate more accurate statistics. In addition the Joule will be usable also as a standard accessory-but not required-from any future game will make use of it.

The site ends informing us that all details will be released by Microsoft at E3: it only remains to wait for, are less than a month.
