I know from listening to Sony fans that Sony is going to bundle its new Slim PS3's with Move in every box for the same price as current PS3's. I expected Microsoft to bundle Kinect with every 360 as well but no announcement was made, the new model was revealed but nothing was said about a bundle this holiday season. Of course Kinect is coming in November and Microsoft might just be holding off on confirming a bundle to avoid people waiting for the bundle before going out and buying a new 360.

So since no bundle has been announced , it would be pretty wild for us to assume Microsoft will offer a bundle with Kinect. Also with the rumoured price of 149.99$ is it even logical for Microsoft to bundle it with the console for 299$. Without a bundle can Kinect manage to out perform Move its main competition?

Will the lack of a bundle hurt Microsoft?

The title should be: Would the lack of a bundle hurt Kinect, cause it makes it like you're implying they won't even make a bundle when they didn't even announce the price tag on Kinect yet!

Worse that could happen is that they bundle the hardware with at least one game. If that's the case, well yeah it's going to hurt them. I mean, it seems like they want to support Kinect as much as possible...

its not even released yet

I'm pretty sure they'll do a bundle... and given Microsoft's recent track record, they'll price it at $399 (lol).
