Does it make sense for Microsoft to ditch Kinect?

I find it funny that some people actually claim that they don't mind the price, but won't buy it just because you get a peripheral that you don't have to use :).

The problem is that some people don't like to talk to their tv, and as long as it is included it's an easy crutch not to make an efficient UI for controllers. It's more likely to get a UI that's easier to navigate without Kinect when a Kinect less SKU comes out. Plus less likely to get more features that require Kinect, like xbox record that.

Go sell it in ebay,mostly can sell between $100~$150

UI problem?it never a problem without Kinect,it just even better when use with Kinect

The problem is i bet these people won't buy the console even it's $99 and still spent their time in here and keep giving us fake reason for "not buying it"

I don't even know what's the point to buy a Kinectless bundle(if it happened),it just weaker PS4 with same price if it's $399,a pure disaster for Xbox One and developers

I'll buy it for the exclusives ofcourse. Rather at 299 with a game and no Kinect than 399 with Kinect. Without Kinect the xbox one can perform better too, no overhead, including the 10% GPU reserve.

I'm probably not interesting enough as a customer for MS anyway. I already have ps+ so no need to start paying for live gold again as well. I'm not interested in full digital games nor streaming tv and movies. So I would just be buying the occasional exclusive AAA and xbla game. I was planning to buy one end this year, but the more I think about I should wait until end 2015 at least.
