Disgusted with the loss of Innovation (Kinect)? (/rant)

Before we start the death march for Kinect, I guess we should wait to see how things shake out. I am sure sales will pick up for the X1 without Kinect but the question will be how many sales will MS have with Kinect. Maybe MS will continue the 450 with a game and Kinect and have the Non - Kinect as the low cost entry SKU.

This way MS can still keep a high value options and a low value options while still not abandoning Kinect as a integral part of their strategy. My take is that the X1 is much less interesting a device without Kinect but then again I also expect MS to make the inclusion of Kinect worth the price. Right now, anyone can make a very convincing case for not having Kinect which is a problem for MS. I feel that MS has had a year to get their message on the advantage of the device so its now time for them to execute. Hopefully MS will have something to show at E3.

True, we shall have to see what happens at E3. 

The thing is, many people who HATED Kinect, after they used on the X1 like it.  Some even use more powerful words.  It’s a great upgrade and adds convenience and value to the system.

There are always some that don't want it.  Some do not like to adapt to the new things.  There are people that stopped gaming because of the two thumb controller.  Heck even George RR Martin still writes his 'Game of Throne' books on a early 90's DOS computer! 

I think it also shows they released it too early.  They should have waited for the DDR4 memory - which is always in their plans, and DriectX12 to be finalized. I don't how significantly it would change anything.
