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.

Wow. Seriously, do you need to play video games? Have a TV? Get out of here. We don't need half the shit we buy and yet, it stays relevant and we keep on buying it. I have to give you credit for taking that "loyalty free" statement out of your sig though. You finally stepped up.

Primarily you buy a videogame console to play videogames, yes. Sony changed the methodology to bring people into gaming via multimedia and Microsoft came and followed suit upping the ante with multimedia whilst bringing proper online to the table. The Kinect sold more units than the original Xbox, I am sure, but thats because of quick casual holiday sales. Such high sales between 2010 to 2012 is a short period of time to have such high sales and then just have it drop off  of the face of the earth. If Kinect 2 is the same product just with more powerful graphics, it will do very little compared to the first when it comes to concrete gaming. Same multimedia controls, same rails games, same everything except it has a much more powerful sensor, sound and camera. 

P.S.

I changed my sig completely because it was old. I tried to put a picture up but it was too large for the sig. Just because I am stating my opinion about Microsoft's handling of the Xbox One pricing and the Kinect does that negate the fact that I am not loyal to any company. Don't go all ad hominem on me now, because I smell it coming on. I buy the console or consoles that impress me most and I have a feeling I will buy all three this gen, but really....I shouldn't even have to tell you this. Its not worth the time.
