Kinect Claims Two Active Player Limit?

During E3, PrimeSense, the company behind the up and coming Kinect , said that the system could only handle a maximum of two active players at a time. PrimeSense couldn’t confirm at the time that Kinect could only calculate two players, and Microsoft didn’t comment further when asked, but leaked Kinect technical specifications from various UK retailers seemed to match up with this recent speculation. The technical specifications claim that the Kinect camera can recognize any number of human bodies, but can only calculate the movement and actions of two people at a time.

Other specs have the camera pulling in a video view with a 640×480 resolution at 30fps, and a rather interesting echo cancellation system in the mic that will allow voice chat directly through Kinect. Other information also explains what the Xbox 360 will need 175 MB of memory for system drivers and an open USB port to hook up the device.
