Ugh, I read that wrong. I thought it said X1 w/o Kinect will retail for $149. I got all excited for no reason.

Costs double what it costs to make lmao, considering that breakdown is correct.

They could've also said: "Please don't buy our product".
The price is ridiculous given how much you pay if bundled with Kinect.
Sadly they don't make a white one which would fit to the SSO bundle... Looks sexy as hell to me.

Btw, on Amazon.de there is a white, unbundled PS4

and a white one with DC bundled:

Has this been shown yet?

fixed

Makes sense. Pushes people to just buy the bundle.

I'd be very surprised that many who bought an X1 without a Kinect would feel the desire to then buy on for $150 later.

I can feel all the kinect game support coming

Giant Bomb has confirmed that it will come with Dance Central: Spotlight which includes 10 songs. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/a-standalone-xbox-one-kinect-will-cost-you-150/1100-5003/

And for the people saying $150 is high, this is standard marketing procedure. Offering the standalones at the same total cost as the bundle, doesn't give people incentive to purchase the bundle. Even the 360 bundles with Kinect reflected this same pricing strategy. You can look at any field of entertainment (or merchandise in general) and see the same thing applied. Think of movies. Each movie in a trilogy might cost $14.99 each (total of $44.97) but the bundled trilogy might cost $29.99.

Dont think its been posted, official post by MS:

Xbox One Standalone Kinect Sensor Available in October

By Xbox Wire Staff posted August 27, 2014 at 8:30 AM

Since we announced the availability of a new Xbox One console option for $399, we have been excited by the response from fans. While we’ve seen our Xbox One sales double since the new Xbox One option became available, we have also seen increased demand for Xbox One with Kinect.

When we announced the new Xbox One option, we also shared that we would deliver a standalone Kinect sensor for people that chose to purchase the sensor at a later date. We’ve always believed in the magic Kinect brings to Xbox One and today we’re excited to confirm that, beginning in October 7, fans will be able to purchase a standalone Kinect sensor for Xbox One. The standalone Kinect sensor comes with Dance Central Spotlight, the latest in the dance series from developer Harmonix, which will be available as a digital download and features a soundtrack of 10 hot tracks. Kinect withDance Central Spotlight will be available at retailers for $149.99.

Xbox One is better with Kinect, making games, TV and entertainment come alive with premium experiences. The Kinect experience includes voice and gesture controls, biometric sign-in, instant personalization, instant scanning of QR codes, and enhanced features only available with Kinect in games such as Kinect Sports Rivals, Dead Rising 3, Project Spark, and more. We believe Xbox One is better with Kinect, offering unlimited possibilities, and we’re seeing our fans use Kinect for Xbox One every day, with billions of voice commands since launch. Only with Kinect can you quickly navigate by using popular voice commands such as “Xbox On”, “Xbox Broadcast” and “Xbox Record That.” Twitch, Game DVR, and Upload are just a few of the experiences that are better with Kinect – for voice broadcasting, recording gameplay and Natural Voice search via Bing. Video calls on Skype are made possible with Kinect and Kinect enables you to control your TVs and set-top boxes via voice and HDMI-In, so you can turn your TV on and off, change the volume, or navigate to a channel by saying “Xbox watch ESPN”. 

So, Microsoft's strategy all along was to overprice their console by bundling an unwanted peripheral, so that when the sales come crashing down, they can unbundle the peripheral, sell the console for $100 less, and then return the peripheral at a 50% higher price, just so they can stimulate the sales of the original $499 bundle nobody cared about in the first place...
