Do you think Microsoft has pissed off the industry like how Sega did with the Saturn?

do you really think MS would say something like "Yeah, there will be a version without Kinect in 6 months or something, so don't buy the Xbox One just yet!"

There is a difference between no plans at the moment and NEVER. And if it was about hearing the fans they would have changed long ago not just now. They changed because of poor sales but hide behind "giving more options to fans". The same with drm they watched pre-orders not their channel.

Ms doesn't listen to the fans they listen to the lack of sales.

MS had a chance to seriously turn the tides. All they had to do was drop the retail sku to 399$. Instead, they removed the kinect to saitate those who believed it was unnecessary rather than actually proving the "necessity" of the peripheral. Best case scenario, Kinectless Sku will boost sales enough that June or July NPD will be MS but after that it'll just drop back, worst case it will have a worse effect than the TitanFall Bundle.

so it would have been better for them to take a loss? and didnt listen fans? but sales? LOL really? how are they different?
