Looks like most of vgc got this one...right! That was only a few months ago though, so you guys don't deserve too much credit. I mean, even Polygon had figured it out by then!
edit: earlier thread, vgc not so right here!

What happens when MS inevitably drops Kinect?
KHlover said:
The same what will happen once Nintendo drops the WiiU gamepad.
Nothing, because it won't happen at all. |
ArnoldRimmer said:
I just don't believe that they will drop Kinect.
Kinect is the one area where Xbone offers something relatively new and different.
Drop Kinect, and what's left behind is pretty much just a weaker PS4. In such a scenario, why should people go for the second best choice, unless it's at least significantly cheaper? And just trying to be cheapest is not the best business model. Much better to offer something that the competition doesn't. |

They won´t do it. If they drop kinect anyday, they´ll be droping the console market for sure. |
tiffac said:
MS will not drop Kinect, the same reason they will not get out of the Japanese market.
They built the X1 strategy around Kinect and removing it will just show they have no faith in their own product and that is a PR disaster waiting to happen.
So its unlikely KInect will be dropped. They will probably do a price drop and just take the loses, if they fall way behind in the sales game and that's a big IF and depends what way behind is to them. |

They cant drop Kinect without bringing out a new Xbox Mister OP.
There are 5 Co processors built onto the GPU specifically for Kinect. What do suggest? To please 0.001% of people on the internet they redesign the whole Xbox One now?

They aren't gonna drop kinect, kinect function is pretty much included in all games, and some may require it for stupid voice commands, plus how expensive can kinect be to make, current gen kinect is being sold at £10 brand new at my local GAME store |
JayWood2010 said:
Honestly i dont expect them to drop Kinect as it is a selling point for XBO, not a liability. Plus XBO is selling for a profit. It isn't "The all in one, Xbox One" without Kinect. Regardless of what the numbers say and who sold the most, XBO will likely be making more money than PS4 unless the attatch rate is super high for PS4.

They won't drop the Kinect. It makes no sense to say that they will.
If they lag behind with sales - they will drop price, of course. But they will never drop Kinect. |
who is this person??
Sal.Paradise said:
The price goes down and their sales increase. By then I think everyone except the MS diehards will have forgotten the Kinect-being-core-to-the-experience marketing spiel, and I'm sure those diehards will be more pleased with the sales increase than the squandering of the infinitepossibilities of mandatory kinect integration, so I doubt many will care.

And who is this gorgeous person??

Polygon: Microsoft needs to admit the Xbox One Kinect is a peripheral, not a pack-in

People need to admit that Kinect is a pack in, not a peripheral. This is not Playstation. |
