Actually, the hardware is likely unchanged.
The original "Kinect for XBox" can see that close, but with error. The biggest changes are in the firmware and the Microsoft Kinect SDK. The SDK itself didn't allow for any data that close.
Can you upgrade the firmware on the Xbox version?
Probably not - if so, it'll be something that comes from the hacking community, not from Microsoft.
