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.

...and your point its? You're justifying the longevity of casual use  item in the public eye because.....? Kinect 2 is being bundled to protect the investment, period. If they felt they could sell it without you would see a $400 Xbox One. Its called protecting an investment.

Well Sony invested heavily in the PS Move, according to some people here even before the launch of the Wii. Yet they did not make it the "standard bundle" and it sold like... well ... it did not sell at all.

 

So as long as bundles guarantee the software support, I am fine with it. MS has enough problems with the X1 already, they don't need a PS Move-like debacle.
