But it sure brought Money on x360 and you wanted to milk more customer with "it's integral to x1 experience". If it wasn't for the backlash you would still do it.

That statement can be applied to basically anything that is 180'd. Backlash lets you know people don't like it.

People's enjoyment of something has nothing to do with its necessity. I hate wearing clip-shoes for cycling, since they are uncomfortable to me, but they are necessary if you want to ride efficiently. On the flip side, even if the XBOne didn't receive backlash for Kinect being packed in, and people enjoyed using the camera, Kinect still wouldn't be integral for core gaming.

People enjoy 3D, doesn't mean 3D is necessary for movies.
