I think it's a little too soon to say that. If Kinect Sports Rivals and D4 fail to wow, then maybe Microsoft should consider unbundling it. Don't judge the new Kinect until you've at least played some Kinect games.

Thats pretty much the problem though...theres no Kinect games at the moment.
MS should have had Kinect Sports Rivals at launch.
But yeah i too would wait to see how Kinect specific software does and if it moves hardware or not.
On the other hand MS is losing a lot of ground to Sony in their home market...and lets be honest here its probably not just PS3 owners upgrading. I mean its almost double the sales...price is also a factor but probably not the only one. PS4 seems to have the momentum and backing of most gamers across the world, so MS cant afford to wait for too long. I'd give it a few months and make a decision before the end of year holiday shopping season.

Well, at least we have a release date for Kinect Sports Rivals now, and it's only 2 months away. If it turns out to be a good game it should go a long way towards proving that the Kinect is worth the extra $100+. If I were Microsoft I'd offer a $500 bundle that comes with the game and take the loss, if that doesn't get the casual crowd interested in Kinect nothing will, and then it'll be time to unbundle the Kinect.

This is exactly what needs to happen. Take the loss with the pack in bundle. Shave $50 off immediately and hold out. Keep releasing games and it will be fine. At least 3M sold at $500 a pop is great in 3months time.
