You can rationalize them tacking on the Kinect all you want, but Kinect will never matter in the grand scheme of things. Sony didnt bother forcing people to use the Move or PS Eye and this is why they will have an advantage. They are leaving it up to the consumers choice. If they support the Move and PS Eye people will buy the products. If they don't support it at least people have the pleasure of knowing they weren't forced to buy a useless product.

This seems like a contradiction...

"If they support the Move and PS Eye people will buy the products... If they don't support it at least people have the pleasure of knowing they weren't forced to buy a useless product."

If a device is bundled with every console, that encourages developers to support that device. Hence, Kinect 2 has more potential to get noteworthy software if its bundled with all consoles than if were optional.

Kinect 1 has had modest support and they've sold about 20 million units. Kinect 2 as a bundle will sell significantly more units and that will encourage stronger support.

lol it is a complete contradiction, MS will clearly support the Kinect hence bundling it at launch. So it can't be "tacked on" and "useless". But in his loyalty free logic he will think he made a good point.

It's also cute how apparently Sony could have had a big hit that rivals Kinect on their hands with the PS Move, they simply chose not to.
