Forums - Gaming Discussion - What happens when MS inevitably drops Kinect?

The rumours that the Xbox One is being sold at a profit is a lie, its selling at the same price the PS4 would sell if the PS eye was bundled with it and since Sony have the license to Blu Ray and also manufacture a lot of the components for both consoles id say Sony are making a slightly lower loss on the sale of the console than M$

oh dear...



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

They won´t do it. If they drop kinect anyday, they´ll be droping the console market for sure.

PSeye is $60.  PS4 would likely be $450 if bundled since I'm sure they could knock off $10 in such scenario.

MS will not drop Kinect, the same reason they will not get out of the Japanese market.

They built the X1 strategy around Kinect and removing it will just show they have no faith in their own product and that is a PR disaster waiting to happen.

So its unlikely KInect will be dropped. They will probably do a price drop and just take the loses, if they fall way behind in the sales game and that's a big IF and depends what way behind is to them.

given how MS has handled the past year or so what's another PR disaster?  Just label it as listening to your fans again and they'll get praise for initially terrible strategies when they change them.

I don't think dropping kinect is "inevitable" at this point.
