I do. They should have tried to find another way. Frankly, I liked kinect and all the features that it allowed. I think getting rid of it was a terrible move. Yes, it was important to bring the price down...and there was probably a LOT of pressure from the higher ups to do something...but they should've tried something else.
Like I said months on months ago, xb1's main competitor is x360.
...This is not to say that xb1 is fine as it is, but that given what was launched and where they are, they needed to stick to the plan. Yes, they released a console whose main marketing campaign offered feature indistinguishable from x360, and they should have done something else....but now that it's done and launched and finalized etc, all they're doing is slowly killing its identity.
They're going to need to bring those games, and hard.
In my honest opinion, it looks like everyone is freaking out over at MS and there is no clear leadership.
