Who believed them when they said the Xbone needs Kinect? They were just desperately trying to sell the value of the Kinect when currently it has none.

That's completely subjective. to me it has tons of value.

OT: I'm glad they are doing this, it would be pretty bad if Kinect was required for the console to operate.

Then whats the point of not letting the people decide the fate of the Kinect? My friend sent me this meme. It makes a lot of sense.

 

They have stated multiple times that they want Kinect with every console to stay consistant and have it reach it's full potential. Basically whenever someone makes a game, they will be able to implement Kinect with the knowledge that everyone will have it.

It's quite similar to having a hard drive optional vs. every console coming with one.
