Its definitely a peripheral i dont see how you can argue otherwise. This isnt an opinion it either is or isn't a peripheral. I think people fail to understand this and it causes unnecessary arguments.
Take out the Kinect and the X1 works perfectly without it. The UI works fine and MOST importantly the games work without it.
Take away the traditional controller and you cant do jack shit with your X1.
Now if MS took away your ability to control the UI with the traditional controller and made it mandatory to use the Kinect then yes its an intergral part of the system but they havent done that and they never will.
The wii remote is good example of not being a peripheral where the move is...yet they do exactly the same thing... |
Actually, the Wii Remote (and the traditional controllers as well of course) are peripherals as well. Even the hard drive inside the XBone and PS4 is technically a computer peripheral, despite being absolutely mandatory for the console to work.

You are absolutely correct.
My bad. Although when it comes to a games console it might be a bit different? That is if we define a game console and Personal Computer as two different things...which we probably cant so yes you are right.
|
so using that goofy logic that would mean the cpu and gpu's are periherals... the bus is a peripheral, the cooling fan, the soldering.... anything and everything's a peripheral, it's a madhouse, it's anarchy....
good lord!!

No. You're just not understanding what peripheral means. Perhaps you should have used the word add on in the OP that way you can win the argument.

The OP is simply QUOTING THE HEADLINE OF THE NEWS ARTICLE HE IS REFERRING TO.
Go get on the case of the journalist who wrote it. It's not anybody on this board's fault. You should be a tech news editor with your attention to detail with regards to terminology. That's laudable. But it's derailing this conversation.
|
Well theres no link in the OP i though he had wrote it himself. It doesnt matter though...who ever wrote the article is using wrong terminology. Im not derailing anything. Report me if you think im derailing. See what happens
