The only reason I have yet to and will never blow this out of proportion because I realized the futility of the endeavor. Even if I was able to convince the entire site of my opinion, there would be a greater chance of the XB1 being discounted then the Kinectless SKU being replaced with a 399 Kinect Bundled XB1(At least until price cut, by then the damage will be done)
However, the contrary argument that its a purely good thing is not sufficent enough for me to reconsider.
And I do disagree with the claim that A) the only people that would disagree with it have already purchased XB1's (I have not yet purchased the system) and B)the only people that would disagree with it want the console to fail.
When DJEVOLVE claimed that MS would drop the SKU's price to 399 before making the Kinect Optional, I agreed with him, because that's not only competing on price, but value as well. Since, they decided to take the easier route, my belief that MS isn't willing to invest as much in the platform and that the XB fanbase doesn't hold Xbox at the same scruntity that Sony or Nintendo is held at are both reconfirmed.
