I personally believe the major reason Xb1 flopped after launch was because there was a massive NSA conspiracy going on raising huge privacy concerns, within months of MS talking about how Kinect is always on and needed to be plugged in permanently to operate the console.
Myself as well as others thought along the lines of, "great, so since we already know MS allows backdoor access to the NSA, they'll be able to remotely spy on our population through kinect".
This is also why I think the EU has largely stayed away, because they perhaps don't forget so easily when it comes to a foreign nation impeding their privacy; Us Americans on the other hand see bright vibrant colors and forget our train of rational thought.
