Despite all the X1 Improvements, geographical bias will be its biggest problem.

I think they did good by actually letting you unplug the Kinect. The tinfoil hat people were right this time around, MLD. It's clear that they were always able to provide the Kinect without X1 so why did they even try to pull that stunt in the 1st place? Why would they try to make the Kinect  mandatory for the console to function all of a sudden?

You don't find that to be odd, MLD?

Good thread though

I can imagine they wanted 100% adoption so developers have incentive to implement as much kinect features as possible, rather then segmenting the userbase, and making us think it was required to ease into it.

But technically, kinect is mandatory....to get the most out of X1 and its features.
