Absolutely amazing considering people seriously thought the Kinect cost almost as much to make as the Xbox One itself.

I have never seen anyone making this claim. In fact it was revealed a long time ago that production cost for Kinect is around $75.

He probably meant the whole development, not just the actual construction of the finished product.

The timing is ideal as it leads well into the holiday season in the US and other countries, making the add-on an excellent gift for those who already own an Xbox One without the next-gen accessory.
Perfect if you like the look of disappointment on the receiver. They're going for $50 on Ebay, $70 buy it now.
