If Kinect 2 is not required, why not let people buy the Xbox One withoug the Kinect? Why require the Kinect to be plugged in for the thing to even function?

because they want kinect to be a full part of xbox one. what's so hard to understand there? if they sell it seperate it will be the same as with move, kinect, ps eye or whatever, it won't get the support of developers they want to get (if games, apps or whatever). if develpers know that everyone has kinect, they will look different at it as if only every third or even less have it.

why has every ps4 controller a touchpad and why has avery wii u a gamepad? because soyn and nintendo want that it is part of every console. i'm sure wii u would be cheaper without gamepad and only a standard controller. those who want a gamepad could buy it seperate!
