I don't know what's with the Kinect paranoia. It looks like an excellent device and it will receive tons of support.
I don't see it deterring game experience at all.

It's not just paranoia. With me for example, I have seen more than enough Kinect in the last 2-3 years to know I have no interest in the device and outside of some dance a fitness games I see no true need for the device to be forced with a console purchase.

Many of us see it as a $100+ roadblock keeping us from getting a XBone.


Kinect isn't costing MS anywhere near $100 though, it's just assumed that's what's driving the price up that much.

I am sure it doesn't cost them anything near that either. Even so, if they had a sku without it, how much would you expect it to cost?

 

I would see a Kinect-less XBone needing to cost $400. 

 

I like that price.

Yeah it'd need to be $400, but they'd be making a bigger loss on it and I think they're being money minded atm. I would love to know what they're making/losing on the Xbox One.
