But now they dont need to spend money for kinect since it isn't being bundled anymore. They will still keep producing more kinect devices but at a lower quantity. I am trying to find that article that says kinect costs more to make than the console. Dunno if its true though

The costs are minscule but they are still there. A greater issue is how this will affect the Kinect and the console in the long run.

Kinect costs "almost as much" as Xbox One to make, says dev

Old article but still if this is true then that means microsoft can be making more money even at the $400 price tag. They can probably even make money if it was $350 or less. This will leave the xbox with a big price cut window.
