They are probably scared that people wont buy it voluntarily and their years of research will go to waste. I still think they will do another one eighty and launch a bundle without kinect, maybe on launch, maybe 6 months later, maybe 2 years later, but they will. |
This isn't a case of being scared people wouldn't buy without, but pushing a feature you see would be the future, in order to differentiate yourself from your competitor. Microsoft very likely though Sony would include the camera with the PS4 and price it at $500. They also likely though the PS4 was going to only have 4GB GDDR5, and then did their announcement with this in mind. Sony ends up doubling the RAM on them, drops the camera as a pack in and prices it $100 less expensive. In short, Microsoft miscalculated.
