well alpha kits are good for nothing after release... so yeah those are pretty much given for free.... the SDK in that case is probably given for free... I think the final product (Kinect 2 alone) cost them right now between 200 and 300 bucks.... and they sell it virtually at 150-200 bucks with the XB bundle or the SDK... so I don't think they sell at loss since the XB1 hardware should cost them about the same (between 200 and 300).... which put us with a Xbox 1 Kinect SKU at between 400 to 600 hundred so yeah at 499 they probably break even make a little profit or a little loss...
there is no way it can cost under 150 right now unless they got a really good deal with chips manufacturer in which case they have signed up for so many that you won't see a Kinect less bundle before Kinect 5 is out.... lol
and there is no way XB1 cost them over 300 to make...
so what that guy says makes perfect sense....
@ethomaz
what other BS have you seen??? some of it is pretty sketchy but nothing seems out there to me...
