Title of the thread: MS Exec says HoloLense will cost more than a Xbox.
People are predicting a 800-1200$ price tag in this thread.
Your probably going to need a "pc" box that handles all the physics & compute needed to be analysed by kinect, so you dont slow down the Xbox unnessarly.
Basically if you have your xbox 1 do all the compute, what the AR is going to be capable of is probably going to be limited.
So you off-load that stressed workload to a additional unit you hookup to your xbox.
Its not going to be cheap to get AR.
