hrrmmm.....DRM was "integral to the Xbox One experience" and when asked to get rid of it, Major Nelson said "we can't just flip a switch". They pulled a 180 on that one
Now, they said "we have no plans to remove the Kinect" and "Kinect is integral to Xbox One experience". They pulled a 180 again.
They've come full circle so, the Xbox One is really....the Xbox 360?? Then $399 is ridiculous! You can get an Xbox 360 for $179!
Jokes aside, no one cares about Kinect and it hasn't been meaningfully used in games. I don't think anybody (who's an Xbox fan) is really mad about this move...maybe they're trying to save face for defending Kinect in the past. Did you all really want the Kinect to stay in and watch as sales continue to drop to pre-Titanfall levels, resulting in the XBone being eclipsed by the PS4 and thus lose out on many big games in the long run? I don't think so. If people still want Kinect, they can get it. But if XBone sales skyrocket, it'll show that people really didn't want Kinect and for you to say it's a dumb move and that Kinect should stay would put you in a very very small minority
