Wow,Kinect 2 is so expensive! MS would be smart to sell the Xbox One without the Kinect so they could undercut the PS4 by $200 - $250.

they are probably taking a lose at it as it is. i really doubt the X1 would cost around 260 to manufacture, if so, then sony is making quite the profit on the PS4. so even if they dont include kinect they wouldnt be able to undercut the PS4 by 250$ or 200$ for that matter. (releasing it for 149$?! thats cheaper than a 360!)

Yeah true. hmm, I don't trust this, cause its extremely hard to believe the Kinect 2 costs as much as the Xbox One to produce.

With a $499 price, I think MS are either breaking even or making a small profit.
