Gonna be honest, I wasn't expecting Microsoft to make this move for at least another year; I figured they would start with a big price cut and then see how the X1 did over the coming year before deciding whether or not to drop the Kinect. That being said, I'm not overly shocked that Phil & Co. decided to bite the bullet early. They're serious about gaining momentum at E3, and if they've already decided that the Kinect will have to be dropped at some point, then it makes sense to have the $399 version ready to go on the same day that they announce a bunch of games.
