If they plan to sell the full package this year....it wouldn't make sense to confirm the rumor in July.

The rumor stated summer of 2014. This would imply they confirm the rumor, if true, in spring of 2014.

After the Bioshock PS3 denial, I learned that no denial is truly permanent. "No plans" is also corporate speak. It means they have "no plans" to discuss their intentions with us at this time.

then again it would make absolutely no business sense to do it next year and if they don't do it next year it wouldn't make any more sense to do it later on once the price is going down any way.... the only crowd that they are losing with kinect really is the provacy freaks crowd... the other concerned by the price but that are still interested will eventually buy it when the price is right in a year or two or later and that is fine from a business standpoint.... heck they'll probably will have a bigger profit margin on the Box after the first price cut due to economy of scale...
So unless a major flop at launch and way I say major I meaning selling less than a WiiU or a Dreamcast I don't see this happening at all..
