Could there be a kinect free version of Xbox One coming at a similar price to PS4? That could make things really interesting

and the death of the XBox division.  they'll never be able to recoup r&d losses from the new kinect on the shelf.  

Well if it's true what they say that Kinect 2.0 is almost as much as the console itself, then they would make a big profit on each console sold for 399 without Kinect. Much faster way to recoup those r&d losses.
Although now you don't need it for the xbox one to work, you can put the Kinect 2.0 sensor for $200 on Ebay for PC enthusiasts right? Your xbox one would only be $299
