People asking the question why would MS remove Kinect now, its because of new leadership. Phil is in control and he pulled the trigger. Personally I am a little shocked because I thought MS would not go down this route.
In business, sometimes you do have to give up your sacred cows in a sense. Ms has not really made a case for the people who purchase consoles at 500 bones for the inclusion of Kinect. It makes perfect business sense to drop kinect until MS has the software library or other enhancements to the device to make a better pitch for its auto inclusion.
I really have never seen MS move so fast on big decisions like these. I would say MS is moving faster than Sony did during the PS3 era when they needed to make adjustment in order to stay in the game when the PS3 price was to high.
It will be interesting to see how this all works out in the market. As someone suggested, if MS have enough AAA games at E3 it could mean better sales for the console.
