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.

I've seen numerous people acting like this was a given fact.

So that was either a blatant lie or the X1 could be a lot cheaper.

X1 is definetly a lot cheaper, I highly doubt the x1 can cost as much as a ps4 being that much weaker. But also, they have to make it painfull so people would want to pick up the $500 bundle, but this is to much considering people dont even want the X1 alone.

This is just going to turn a lot of people off and all the ones saying that they dont see a problem and its a good offer or they get why they are doing this and its perfect for the holidays, these people probably already have the $500 x1 bundle. I see this impacting negatively on the holidays sales cuz now they look greedy while also loosing the console race, so they should be humble and grovel to the consumer and not trying to exploit them.
