As far as the poll goes, I voted "No" based off of possible dealings that...might not have anything to do with gaming. Here's my take: Johnny wants an Xbox One for his birthday. Now Johnny gets ANYTHING he wants video game related to keep him preoccupied, because of a "busy" single mother. She doesn't know anything or has any views at all about video games. But mom does watch the NEWS. All the talk from Ed Snowden on NSA dealings with Microsoft, warranted or not, has garnered her attention. So when Johnny asks for an Xbox One, that's already $100 more than it's competitors, but also a voice-recognizing, always activated camera, well...this time she says, "Sh*t No!"
Look, Microsoft knew about their collabo with the NSA being revealed WELL before the launch. You changed EVERYTHING that was a negative to fans, but the KINECT. And to be quite honest, me being a PS4 owner, I'm gonna say that Microsoft can turn all of the problems of the Xbox One around, and make it a fight this gen, if you'd just...drop the KINECT and $100...NOW. They don't gain financial profit from selling their system with it, why so ADAMANT about keeping it together? "KINECT is Xbox One", remember that? At E3, I would've considered their idea of being Digital Only as being more Xbox One than KINECT. Why STILL force it, after the E3 backlash, after the launch...HELL, after January NPD numbers? Why? I just think the answer to that has more to do with "American Politics", than anything else. So no, as obvious as it was/is to have a KINECT-less Xbox One, I think it's not happening...
