I think what MS is doing is ridiculous from the point of view of a core gamer. Kinect has already been on the market for a few years and we already know that it is and will remain totally useless for a core gamer. Why would I want to pay extra cash for it? The only reason why MS is bundling it is to allow us to swap channels (like I watched TV anyway...), to spy on us in order to give us profiled ads (awesome...) and to increase the market for casual Kinect games (again - priceless for me). To me it looks like they made a choice and decided that XO is going to be targeted at the casuals while pretending to be competing with PS4 for the core. The thing is, how many gamers will they fool into paying additional cash for a worse product with totally redundant functions?
I for one am very happy that Sony isn't bundling the Eye with the console. I don't need it, I don't want it, I want a cheaper console to play my core games.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
