After the massive success on kinect on xbox 360, i can understand why microsoft wanted kinect 2.0 to be a big part of the xbox one. but now, after the launch of the XB1, and the results of how both the PS4 and XB1 are performing, you gotta ask yourself, is kinect really worth it? Xbox has lost UK and USA to PlayStation, the two biggest markets for Xbox. but removing kinect could result in a price drop to 399$ or even 349$. which can drastically change the sales of the Xbox One.

 

is Kinect really that valuable? and why are Microsoft still hanging on to it? 

They rolled the dice and bet the house on it, cant take it back now.  It be a bitch and a half of neg pr if they cut it, one more uppercut to the chin self induced yet happily deliverd by sony.  They will get plenty hate if they cut if from those like me that were forced to pay for it.  Just another black eye and reason not to trust them.   While the cut would help, some of its effect would be negated by ms doing anothe flip flop.

Even at equal price PS4 still out sales it, X needs to cost less like 360 did.
