But you guys just aren't getting it.  The entire media functionality, from voice commands to hand gestures require kinect.  This functionality is a HUGE part of the Xbox One sell.  There is no way they are going to remove / make optional kinect before launch.

A 180 on DRM policy is one thing, but to completely dicredit the entire APU the system is build around (multi tasking, TV, games, voice command, etc.) would be suicide IMO.

I agree with you but it is not required... you can use the standard control do use everything.

By definition of the word required, I agree.  But realistically, never going to happen.  Its one of their differentiating features for the entire UI.
