German Official Criticizes Xbox One's Data Collecting - IGN

A lot of people were wowed last week when Microsoft showed off the responsiveness of the new generation Kinect perched on top of the forthcoming Xbox One, but not everyone is thrilled by the advances the company has made in facial recognition. Escapist reports that when German website Spiegel asked Germany's Federal Data Protection Commissioner Peter Schaar about the technology, he called it a "monitoring device."
