Polygon: Microsoft needs to admit the Xbox One Kinect is a peripheral, not a pack-in

In my opinion the only think that differentiates Xbone is Kinect... if you removes it then it will loose in every single aspect to PS4... so it will became a non buy machine.

MS needs price cuts and games... I think the Kinect-less SKU a terrible idea.

Now some user experience with the UI... it doesn't works well without Kinect... it is a mess to navigate using controller on Xbone.... the UI was designed to works with Kinect... so if they choose to go with non-Kinect SKU they will need to make drastic changes in the UI.

Yep i actually agree, I think they should cut cost to 400$ with kinect, They wanted  it in the box, show confidence in the product.  I only turn on my kinect for Games that use it. System navigation is not to bad, does need some improvement. 

I have been a little upset with the lack of support for Kinect.  If they wanted people to buy in, then why no support? They thought the Kinect navigation and voice controls would sell by it self. I have to say Microsoft dropped the ball on this one. I like it but wanted games, not just a menu add on.

if it was 400 with kinect, people would still bitch and say "why dont you remove it and be cheaper than the ps4"

Yes but sales would drive up dramatically.
