I believe MS already know why they make Kinect mandatory. Its probably not what the system can do today but what MS believe they will be delivering tomorrow. If MS is not willing to part with Kinect for the X1 then its evident that Kinect is as important to MS then immediate sells for the X1. The key will be how long will it take for MS to bring the value of having Kinect to the X1. I am not sure if Kinect selling as much as the PS4 at this time is really a big deal. The device just needs to sell. I doubt this gen will be over in 2 years or something like that so who knows how things will turn out 2 years from now.
