Microsoft may be looking to
integrate Internet Explorer 9
into Xbox 360 consoles
sometime in the near future,
according to The Verge.
Redmond is also said to be
testing the use of Kinect voice
and motion control to help
users browse the Web.

This move would bring
Microsoft closer to integrating
more of its products into the
same ecosystem. Right now,
Xbox 360 has Bing video
search and Kinect voice
recognition . Although some
users are pleased about not
having to type in TV show and
movie names, the feature has
gotten mixed reviews from
consumers who say they have
to speak loudly and use very
specific commands.

If the Xbox 360 were to get the
Internet Explorer browser,
users would be able to search
the entire Web straight from
their gaming consoles. The
Verge reports that the Kinect
feature will be an option,
rather than mandatory.

So far, Microsoft has not
publicly said anything about
the new feature or mentioned
any type of launch date. But
The Verge speculates that
there may be an
announcement soon,
especially with the E3 gaming
show coming up.
