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.

Or they have stockpiles of them made....in which case it's better to sell than store more.
