Nope. Microsoft wanting 100% of Xbox One consoles to have a Kinect on hand isnt a problem. Its a great idea, actually. The userbase for Kinect games is there. We know how many Kinects are on the market. 3rd parties have more incentive to make Kinect games. While I personally wouldnt want to own one, I can totally understand why Microsoft want one in every box. Its actually a great business decision.

There is still a problem though -

That problem is the required Kinect connection.

Has anyone from Microsoft explained why it has to be plugged in yet? Do we have any confirmed source? Id like to know why the Xbox One needs this camera plugged in for it to actually work.
