Why is it a big deal?


Because people dont want a camera and microphone device sitting in the living room, or even bedroom, connected at all times. It doesnt matter how many "off" functions it has, its still connected at all times. Now answer my question or I will report you for being off topic and derailing.

Why does it have to be plugged in at all times?

Yah because you are unpluging your USB camera from your PC or even a laptop when you are not using it right? Or the one on your cell phone/tablet?
I do not see what it would be a big deal with Kinect, esp. if you can turn it off and achieve the exact same thing than any PC/Phone/Tablet or other device (and even the EyeToy on Playstation).

I actually find it funny that the majority of people complaining about it (Playstation fans) have actually no problem with all these devices I listed but find it problematic on the Xbox One (a device that they certainly will not own anyway...) And even for the few that are actually really interested into the Xbox One, again, why is it a big deal with the console but not with your smartphone, PC, tablets etc... (even TVs got camera now...)

The only possible thing that may turn this into a big deal is a conspiracy theory about the big evil Microsoft... and well... As I said, conspiracy theory... No big deal :)
