Its been in rumors that XBox indies would be getting their share to access the power of Kinect and make some name for themselves as well !!
- Microsoft Kinect
This is what we found on the Microsoft forums:
XNA Game Studio v.next: With XNA Game Studio 4.0 released this year, unquestionably the new features were largely in support of Windows Phone 7 as we looked to expand the managed code platform to our new mobile devices. That meant a number of features the XNA team were considering for XNA overall were put briefly on hold. We’re collectively re-visiting all of that now. With each version of XNA Game Studio, we’ve prided ourselves in listening to your feedback and providing features and capabilities that our Creators have specifically asked for. From improvements to our APIs to completely new feature sets , your feedback absolutely has played a material role in having shaped XNA Game Studio and Xbox LIVE Indie Games. This is still true today as we look ahead and consider what to add next for our Xbox 360 developers. What we’ve heard in the past and are evaluating include:
o Achievements
o Leaderboards
o Kinect API support
o Ongoing XNA Game Studio and XNA Framework improvements and enhancements
While nothing is concrete at this point and still under investigation, we’d love to hear you weigh in further as to which of the above or other unnamed feature(s) you’d like to see in upcoming versions of the offering.
- ·Dream.Build.Play 2011: yes there will be another iteration of DBP and it will be focused on the Xbox 360 platform. I don’t have the specifics to share just yet but wanted to get this news out to all of you. You won’t have to wait too much longer for those details however so appreciate your patience.
- ·More Xbox 360 Dev Ed samples: We’re going to be taking a closer look at our content plans and look to beef up our Xbox 360 samples where needed. Right now, we’ve needed to shore up content for the phone but we’ll look to get in as many new samples for the console along the way as possible.
·Fixes and enhancements to the new App Hub site: We’re diligently gathering feedback and issues with the newly launched App Hub site. Your voice counts so be sure to drop us a comment in the App Hub Technical Issues forum here.
So its time to learn XNA finally 
. Not sure from our side. Searching for books online to see what can give us a kickstart. Like we said in our earlier post …. Diversifying you game engine and coding skills is the key !!
