i dont see a kinect less XB1 for $400 in the near future (from what MS has stated and i personally dont believe kinect is actually adding $100 to the price) and it wont really be a game changer since Sonys console is also $400. MS will always be playing catch up to Sony with there price just like how it was this gen for Sony

If the Kinect isn't adding $100, then how much do you think it is adding?  Why else charge $500 for the XB1?  No reason to charge more for a theorized weaker console.

i dont know the exact amount but if you look at this gen why is the 360 slim with a 250gb HDD $100 more than the non HDD console, that HDD alone cant still be costing MS $100 and why is a 360 with a HDD still $299 after all these years? the only difference being HDD size, a in comparison PS3 stared life more expensive than the 360 but since last year finally PS3 with a HDD managed to be priced cheaper than 360 with a HDD

i believe MS charges an above than average/normal for there stuff HW, HDDs, online fees, controllers ect in general, i believe what MS wanted to charge for the XB1 alone w/o kinect would of been higher than Sonys so instead they bundled it with kinect to make it seem like the deal is the same as the PS4 but with the added kinect
