The reasons I won't buy an Xbox One, Kinect 2.0 is near the bottom. The console is made for their two big markets of the U.S. and U.K. Due to the CRTC here in Canada, many of the features you see in those countries will never be brought here. XO has to be seen solely as a gaming console here and when the PS4 is cheaper, more powerful and aren't anti-consumer then it's a pretty easy decision who to go with.

Kinect is a fad. People don't need to pay $500+ to rabble-rouse to YouTube audiences, much less play games where you jump around and wave your hands.

By the way, any website that has Arthur Gies as a "journalist" is a joke. I'm sure he's proud of his huge following of teenage boys he accrued during the 360 glory days. I'm sure many now see him and the Polygon staff as desperate men begging for jobs in Redmond so they can get Yusuf Mehdi's autograph.
