If Kinect 2 is not required, why not let people buy the Xbox One withoug the Kinect? Why require the Kinect to be plugged in for the thing to even function?

because they want kinect to be a full part of xbox one. what's so hard to understand there? if they sell it seperate it will be the same as with move, kinect, ps eye or whatever, it won't get the support of developers they want to get (if games, apps or whatever). if develpers know that everyone has kinect, they will look different at it as if only every third or even less have it.

why has every ps4 controller a touchpad and why has avery wii u a gamepad? because soyn and nintendo want that it is part of every console. i'm sure wii u would be cheaper without gamepad and only a standard controller. those who want a gamepad could buy it seperate!

Exactly. I understand it perfectly, but what if I'm a 500 pound mute gamer who doesn't feel like getting up in front of the room to do gestures and stuff? What if I want to use only the controller to control everything? Can I do that?

buy another console? not that i believe that you would buy an xbox one with or without kinect...

like i said in another post, the "normal" stuff will probably work with controller like navigating in the menu or starting the console. and the stuff which will only work with kinect or smartglass (skype, the nba draft stuff or using the browser when you watch a movie) is something you would maybe not have without kinect and smartglass which means you complain about the need to use kinect for something you wouldn't have without kinect. 

Why wouldn't I? i was very impressed with the TV features on Xbox One. I am seriously considering buying it just like I am the PS4. I'm not a fanboy, I have no allegiance to any one company. I will buy the console that offers me the most value and features that I myself find useful.
