Now seriously: I actually do agree that it's not a good decision by Microsoft, but for a slightly different reason:

Kinect really was the one unique, stand-out feature that Xbox One had. Remove Kinect, and you have a console that costs exactly the same as PS4, but is considered to have weaker hardware, even if the difference may actually be rather small. Why would someone who isn't a fanboy or interested in a specific Xbox One exclusive title pick the Xbone? I see little reason...

To me, it would feel like choosing between 100$ in cash and a 100$ voucher from my favourite shop. The two would be almost exactly similar useful to me, but I would still pick the 100$, because my mind would tell me that the money still has a tiiiiny advantage over the other alternative.

If MS truly had faith in the Kinect, they would sell it for 399 with the Kinect included, then consumers would have no excuse plus it would obliterate the ps4s 450$ bundle with the eye.

The fact that the Kinect bundle is still 499 means that even at price parity, the XB1 is still more expensive then the Four.
