So people complain about Kinect being included for a whole year and then they remove and now people complain MS is giving up on Kinect? Their truly is no pleasing some of you guys. MS could give the Xbox One away for free and people would find something to complain about.

Im preparing for people who said MS needs to ditch the Kinect to bash them for making a Kinect-less bundle.

It is a great piece of technology but there's just no software besides the Xbox One UI and apps. Good to know they realized that

Megaton if true! But why now? maybe April NPD was THAT bad?!

To lower the price is the right thing to do without taking a greater loss on hardware. That will give the option for Microsoft to have a XOne + Kinect sku too

Kinect was always don mattricks baby.  Not surprised they wouldnt push it as much with him gone. Its a lot of cost with limited appeal.

lawl, Launch-buyers are fucked and I guess very pissed, if that happens.

A cheaper SKU would be great for those still on the fence.

either mcv got trolled or people who dont care for kinect get the option to not pay for it, either way is a good outcome.

Its about damn time.

I really expected them to leave this for a big E3 reveal, but if theyre being forced into it before any big show, numbers must be hitting some bad lows.

I wonder if its gonna be a UK only thing.
