In short, they know the Kinect 2.0 wont sell if its sold separately.

That is just garbage. Kinect is around 25 million in sales, MS have the knowledge, experience and resources to back that up and sell Kinect 2 just as well.

75m 360s.
25m Kinect.

50m people didn't want Kinect.

Of the 25m, for a long while it was hard to find a 360 without a kinect bundled especially at retail (I know, I tried), so some of them were probably not wanted, of those 25m sales there will also be people who felt it a disappointment and do not want another kinect.

Yep, also, they sold the Kinect not only in high GB bundles but also in arcade bundles. People gobbled up the arcade bundles. That was when the fad was at its height during the holiday season. Kinect arcade bundles saved the Xbox 360's lead on Sony from 2010-2012. That crowd is diminished unless there is a new fad that is created to get the non-gamers to join in once more. If people think they created a stable crowd with casual items, its pretty sad. This is why I was kind of pissed at Nintendo for not allowing the Wii U to primarily be a Wii HD, they just had to confuse the casuals and make things more complicated for them.
