Good move by Microsoft, and very good news for people that wanted a Xbox One. This move clearly have an economic cost because it's obvious Microsoft invested a lot in the original idea of Xbox One based on Kinect, but in the long run, it will be for the best.
Despite all this good news..., Microsoft is still in a delicate position, because right now they have to promote a console that is basically the same as its main competitor. They will now have to deal with the notion that Xbox One is less powerful than PS4 with no advantages and costs the same. They need very good games, and i don't think more Halo is enough. Sony has been very quiet all last year, and everyone knows there will be a lot of annoucements incoming. Microsoft needs an impressive E3 to counter that, an historical one.
E3 will be more important than ever....
