Yes, it will affect the price. If the next Playstation and Xbox are the same price...imagine how much cheaper the Xbox would have been without Kinect included? $50-$100 cheaper that's for sure.

With the exception of the Xbox's 8GB of memory to the PlayStation's 4GB of memory, the two should be on par performance and cost wise.

Any price difference wouldn't be significant.  So to believe that Kinect 2 would significantly add to the cost of the next console is just ridiculous.

The only thing including Kinect 2 in the next Xbox will do is possibly push off how soon Microsoft can drop the price, but even still I'm guessing Kinect 2 probably costs $50.  If not less.

Not really. Leaked specs but PS4s graphics roughly 50% better on paper.

I don't see Microsoft just giving Kinect away. It will bring up the cost no matter how you look at it. The money Microsoft spend on Kinect R&D could have been used to make a more powerful console or just to make sure they are price below the PS4. 

I'm done here. I've made my point and I'm not going to repeat myself over and over.
