Didn't ms clarify there stance on the whole kinect/price of the console fairly recently. I think it was after they did a 180. |
Yea, this surfaced after that. I placed two tweets about it somewhere in the discussion. One where a MS rep said the 'rumors' were false and another where a guy claimed to have spoken to a MS insider (or something to that effect) who claimed it is true. But I believe the rumor is true in the sense that you can turn it off, rending it "not a requirement". That's a far cry from MS shipping a SKU without the Kinect. That's how most people have been interpreting it. With that said, I highly doubt it will be dropped since it seems important to the other services they want to implement, like TV. I think this makes sense when you consider what they shared recently about the Kinect and price. Releasing a SKU without Kinect would be bad for their overall plan - just my opinion.

Ya, though I don't like that it still has to be plugged in to the one to make it work. It takes up needless space since I prob won't use it very much if I get the one. The xbone seems to be centered around the use of the kinect in general.

In the grand scheme of things, it is a useless device for me. Where I live (and in the great majority of counties I visit) we are not on the support list, and I am inclined to think the great majority of those services won't materialize. I'm the kind of gamer that sits down on the couch and game with a beer or two, so the 'active gaming' MS wants to sell me with the Kinect is not my cup of tea. I'm not paying extra for it, especially since the PS4 costs 100 less and seems to have more games on stream.
