Selling the Eye separately would certainly help lower the price, but it would also practically guarantee that developers would never try anything interesting with it, thus relegating the Eye to games that are no better than what you see on the Kinect 1.0 or the Move. It's a tradeoff. Microsoft packaging in the Kinect 2.0 with the One drives up the price, but also lets developers take risks with the Kinect because they know every Xbox One owner will have one; with the new Kinect being so accurate and with such low lag, we might actually see something interesting come out of motion controls this generation.
