All these people saying adding price for a device people didn't ask for are completely silly statements.

It makes no sense.

Stick with PS4 if your happy with that. If you don't want to advance away from the previous generation that's fine. There is a console called PS4 which just upgrades graphics.

What I just read in the OP is Freaking amazing. Truly revolutionary.

Playing Killer Instinct, passing the controller to the next person and it automatically signs them in. No exiting said game, or logging one person out to log in another.

This is next gen. If you cant afford 100 pounds less than PS3 launched for, then good.

I don't want you holding back the progression of the Xbox One. Taking it out of the package and not including it with every Xbox would hold it back from a unified device perspective.

Very seriously, don't buy the Xbox One. Id rather you didn't ruin the next generation for all consoles. This isn't Xbox 360 .5

FANTASTIC ARTICLE.

AMAZING GENERATION AHEAD.

wow you are going to get some heat for that, but I simply cannot disagree with you :)

This is how I see the new Xbox One, while the PS4 is an amazin piece of hardware; I do not see anything different or innovative; it is just a more powerfull machine.

Microsoft on the other hand comes out with new ideas (Kinect 2, HDMI in, the all digital/family sharing original plan etc); 

Alright now; I'll be under fire too :) Anyway, that's my oppinion at least!

OP: Yes it is a very good move... Now Kinect is part of the offering and developpers will come out with brilliant ideas and use of it. Before that, as it was optionnal they were no reason for the devs to invest too much time in it. I'm pretty confident we will see a lot of wonderful use of Kinect with the Xbox One.

they wont its still optional less than 50% of there audience will have Kinect. Most devs will see it as a waste of resources. 

How do get to the 50% number if every system sold has it?  Most people buying the XB1 will hook it up(probably 95%+).  THey will try some of the unique features it provides.  They will start gaming and stop thinking about it.  Even if they don't regularly use it, it will be hooked up.  When they talk to their friends that have an XB1(people in friend groups generally buy similar or the same consoles), they will hear how they did something  or used kinect and the curiousity will kick in.

  I have had a number of people who own 360's come over to my place and want to try the kinect.  A good portion of them went out and purchased it afterwords.  Seeing as how the Kinect 1.0 way underperformed compared to the demos for 2.0, I would think that it will only get easier for people to get into using Kinect 2.0  . 

People who say that they just can't buy the XB1 because they are paying for the Kinect or just don't want that feature is understandable.  It is odd if they haven't even tried it out.  I would bet that a number of them will eventually try it at a friends or whatever and quickly see that it isn't as much gimmick as they thought.  Kinect is really just another tool to have hooked to your television.  It can enhance many features of your living room.  The best part is that it can enhance and change how you play games.  Hard for me to jusge a game without playing it, so I can't imagine how so many people can dismiss this tech woithout atleast trying it.  The hard part for M$ is that very few of the launch titles really show the full capability of the Kinect, so people aren't being wowed.  I am not looking for being wowed, I just like the enhancements in all aspects that is can provide. 


I get 50% because im being genourous and saying that Xbox have half the market share, with PS4 and PC. You need to remember most games are multiplatform and Xbox is only a percentage of the total people playing a developers game. 

If i was being realistic i would probably go lower with 25-30% of a multiplaform devs players having a kinect.

Its just not gonna be supported well. Neither is PS4s touch pad. Why add features improve features for the minority when you can spend time making the game better for everybody.
