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

Uh idk, it drops in price?

They cant drop Kinect without bringing out a new Xbox Mister OP.

There are 5 Co processors built onto the GPU specifically for Kinect. What do suggest? To please 0.001% of people on the internet they redesign the whole Xbox One now?



I feel like there's going to be a lot of Kinects on Ebay for all the people who have no interest in it and are forced to buy one until (read "if") they drop it. I guess some will break but I feel like there's going to be a lot of people with paperweights who kinda get pissed that they HAD to buy it. So for customer satisfaction they should go Sony's route.

it will be like it is right now, a peripheral you can buy separately



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

You guys are missing the point.

What happens to early adopters when Kinect is dropped? Do they just get left in the dust? Does Kinect become a useless accessory with no support?

If anything I see them cutting the price whilst still including the Kinect, and taking a loss.



 

they won't drop it, they don't have to, and the xone sales won't be low, i'm sure that in 5 years xbox will sell more units than the ps4. and other thing: vgchartz is wrong, actually, xbox 360 already sold 80.00 million units, and ps3 not even 79.00

Mr. 6 Posts is now an authority on sales here? 



They aren't gonna drop kinect, kinect function is pretty much included in all games, and some may require it for stupid voice commands, plus how expensive can kinect be to make, current gen kinect is being sold at £10 brand new at my local GAME store

Did the first Kinect become a useless accessory with no support? No. In fact, I would bet you have made posts on this very forum about how MS supported the Kinect too much down the stretch. So why would Xbone Kinect support be any different? Especially when its use is entrenched in the system itself.
