The point is, MS couldn't prove Kinect's worth for hardcore gaming ever since it was released on 360. And they just realised they probably never will be able to do so. Kinect is always going to be that special controller used for dance/sports games, while doubling as an alternate voice activated remote control for your Xbox/TV.
People who don't care for another remote control or dance/sports games rightfully did not see any value in Kinect and MS has finally come to their senses in allowing these people to buy a cheaper Xbox without Kinect.
Kinect never had any place in hardcore gaming, and it probably never will.
