the act of requiring it to be plugged in guarantees a couple things.  there will be no second hand market for kinect.  every xbox one user has kinect connected to the system not thrown in the closet.  so they can add features that they think gamers will like .  think of kinect as the touch pad on the ps4 controller.  no developer is required to use it but if they want to they know that every ps4 user has this feature included.


I think bundling it with every Xbox One would likely remove a 2nd hand market for the device, because why would someone need a 2nd Kinect? Its not like the Wii Sports bundle, where its a disc in a card sleeve that can easily be lost/broken. Though I do see the point youre making here. 'tis a good one.

With the added features, people can still do it when they want. All they have to do is plug Kinect in. I see this is a meh point in all honesty.
