What happens if Microsoft drops the price for the Xbox One to $400?

There was indeed a contradiction. Bundling helps create support there wouldn't be otherwise.

There will probably be shovelware. But most people will ignore shovelware and buy quality games. The good Kinect 1 games sold well, while many shovelware games either flopped or had modest sales.

I think you're also ignoring the improvments Kinect 2 has over Kinect 1. The improved accuracy will make more people interested in Kinect and that'll boost support.

As I told you...It doesn't matter if the Kinect 2 can read through your soul, without controling the 3D environment you're basically doing the same thing in a concrete manner as the Kinect one. Sony preached this as the reason they turned down Primesense Pre-Natal. I'll say this a thousand times, you will see very little response and Ryse being a full game instead of still a Kinect game is a testament to this.

Sony didn't have the same vision as MS and that is why they missed out on the megaton success of the original Kinect. Instead Sony cloned something we saw before and the Move quickly vanished into obscurity.

MS said they want Kinect to be used to for new types of gaming experiences. Kinect has already given us experiences that can't be duplicated or wouldn't translate well to a gamepad or Wiimote style control. Hopefully the Kinect 2 will continue to bring innovation to motion gaming.
