Great news here for those that don't care for Kinect I guess. Doesn't really change anything for me.

Even if they split the sku's and did a kinectless version for $399 or less, I am sticking with the bundle version.

Kinect has its uses, and I have some hope they can turn it into a thing this gen. Even if it is a complete failure it still if nothing else makes dance games much better without the need to hold a remote.

Good luck with that hope. They'll get more out of the smart glass than they did with Kinect. :)

Perhaps ... at least they will get more out of it than Sony will out of the Playstation 4 "I can't believe it's not Kinect" Camera.... I kid I kid relax you had it coming for that  : )

Smart glass may actually become a thing though with them finally attempting to put it into games in a meaningful way ... at least with Deadrising 3 if nothing else. It could just end up being something they try at launch and abandon though.
