I like how the PS4 is the PS3.5 because it doesn't have Kinect : )

Microsoft is basically saying once you try it you'll like it. Like telling someone they'll like Frog Legs or Rat Ass Pie if they just give them a chance.

I also laugh when people say Microsoft is thinking long term because of Kinect

While I do admire Microsoft for setting themselves apart from Sony, Kinect will never be anything other then a gimmick

Either some people dont realise whats happened or is going on or Playstation owners are happy to pay for something they arent using.

1. Kinect 2.0 isnt just the camera. Thats half of Kinect. Inside the console designed specifically for Kinect are seperate Chips only used by Kinect. There wont be a Kinectless Sku because half of Kinect is in the console itself. The camera isnt all of Kinect. Take away the camera, and your paying for a bunch chips that are useless to you.

2. Sony have taken the camera away. But sell you a controller which you dont need. Why dont Sony build a new controller that doesnt have the Eye feature set to save you the consumer money? Playstation fans seem glad to not pay for the camera, but pay for the controller with features they now cant use. Seems unthought out on Sonys part to me. Why not offer those who dont want the Eye a non Eye Controller cheaper? Especially those who buy more than 1.


Yeah... That's like when I buy a PC, although my tower has a slot for a Blu-ray player, since I don't want that feature, I'm not getting one. Even though my tower was built with slots for such a feature... 

Or I get a phone that can go online via 3G or 4G... But because I don't need that feature, I'm not subscribing to a data plan... Those greedy cell phone makers... They want me to upgrade and are selling me those phones at such a higher price because they're including these features in all their phones!!! So unthought out on their part!!! How dare they include that feature and give me a choice to use it or not based on my own decided monthly phone plan!!!

That's when it comes to your argument about the PS4. Which is quite poor.

Now, when it comes to your position about Kinect and its integration with the XBO, I agree with you that it's just like the Wii-U Gamepad. It's part of the system. At least, from what MS is saying so far. But until I have been shown real evidence that the console is better with it, that it really is necessary to the system unlike the original Kinect was for the 360, then I won't be convinced it's better to have it included with every XBO. 

MS didn't convince me I needed Kinect with the 360. All I saw was a neat gimmick. They have to work their ass off now to prove to me that this time is different.
