Microsoft: Xbox One is worth $100 more than PlayStation 4

The lie is over. They never needed the Kinect to be in the Xbox One for it to function. The Wii or Wii U is a complete experience combo, which is different. Microsoft nor Sony have truthfully ever had a complete experience with their peripherals. That is something you need to accept. It has the same vailidity as the PSEye because both do camera motion tracking complete with voice command for a cheaper price (most likely so they can bundle the move with it for $100).  

P.S.

I will admit though, that Sony is trying to add the Kinect to the home multimedia experience. Its not solid just yet, but we'll see.

None of what you said makes any sense at all.

Kinect being required or not has nothing at all to do with the topic at hand. Its bundled. Kinect has a 100% attach ratio. If there is a feature in a game that needs Kinect, its there. If there is a feature for an app that needs Kinect, its there. If they change the system so that you need Kinect to turn it on... Its there.

Kinect is bundled and it adds to the value of the Xbox One package. End of.

Of course what I said makes sense. Microsoft wants a 100% launch attach ratio, because they know left up to the people it wouldn't accomplish it a second time. The Xbox can survive without the Kinect because Kinect is not essential. Its not like the Wii or the Wii U. Its relevence is no different than what Sony uses the Eyetoy for. You're putting it on a pedestal. Wait until MS drops the bundle and see how well it sells there after.
