The price you pay for consoles is determined by the manufacturing costs as well as the amount the manufacturer is willing to subsidize.

And I think the Kinect price can be approximated based on the price of the current Kinect and a bit of extrapolation.

Lol.. Foxconn/Pegatron are the manufacturers of the consoles. They don't care the least what they are assembling, but one thing is dead sure: they want hard money for their work - they are not going to lose a single cent manufacturing the stuff.

I have had tof cameras in my radar for over 30 years and I am extremely puzzled by the low price of the XBox One with Kinect2. If you have any leaks/good approximations on Kinect2 hardware costs, tell us...

Sorry by manufacturers i meant MS/Sony. Sorry for confusion.
