No no no! This will ruin the Xbox One.

I hope it is not true.

How on earth would a $150 price cut from a periperal 90% of early adopters dont want ruin anything. 

Because it stops being a 100% included peripheral and devs will ignore it, pretty much like they do with current kinect. Those of use that like it want it to be included to push development forward. Sony made a mistake by removing the camera and unless it sells by the boatload it will get minimal support from 3rd parties, leading to lower sales because of lack of support which in turn leads to poor sales and so on and so on, ad infinitum.

3rd parties will just add the features from the X1 version to the PS4 version. Having the Kinect included with the X1 is actually going to dramatically increase the support for the PS4 camera without it having to be compulsory.
