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.

Ya I'm the same. Ms honestly has shown why I should give a shit about the kinect gaming wise. It's just small extras added in if that. I don't see the point of shelling out an extra $100 to get it at this point. The ps4 and one both play pretty much the same games anyways.It's not like the wii u vs the hd twins scenario. The exclusives on both are great.

I'm in agreement. I love Halo and Gears and I intend to play both later. But the lack of support and extra 100 are deal breakers for me. I'll get the X, but much later when it is cheaper. It's hard for me to own both early since they are so similar, like you pointed out. Last gen third party exclusives were dwindling, but not dead, so owning both didn't seem redundant at the time (for the most part). Things are different now. Plus, the great majority of my friends are going on the PS4, so that's another factor I have to consider.
