You can turn off Kinect right? So it is a non-essential component of the XB1.
I think that MS could remove the bundled Kinect and sell XB1 cheaper than the PS4.
The XB1 has a weaker GPU & cheaper RAM after all - it should be cheaper to make.
Sony & MS have been willing to cut almost everything to cut prices on PS360 like the 12GB PS3 and 4GB XB360. I think that right now MS will keep Kinect as a key differentiator from the PS4, but in the future if they have a strong library then they can remove Kinect.
