This doesn't dispute what I was refering to. CBoaT debunked a rumor for a Kinect-less X1 by next summer, but what I am thinking of is the same X1 as it is now, launching at $399. Also, CBoaT can't see in the future. After the X1 reveal he said that Microsoft's actual DRM policies are worse than they've revealed so far, but eventually Microsoft canned the entire thing. |
Can't see MS doing that personally. They're probably already making a loss as it is with Kinect bundled in (and now they're adding in a headset too). Chopping off $100 of whats already bleeding them money is very, very unlikey.
About the DRM reversal, yeah noone could have seen that coming. It was most likely a last minute adjustment done by the higher ups at MSFT. A change like that is simple and won't negatively effect the launch of the console or the company. A decision like lowering the pricing of the console after its initial announcement it, however will.
