I don't know what's with the Kinect paranoia. It looks like an excellent device and it will receive tons of support.
I don't see it deterring game experience at all.

It's not just paranoia. With me for example, I have seen more than enough Kinect in the last 2-3 years to know I have no interest in the device and outside of some dance a fitness games I see no true need for the device to be forced with a console purchase.

Many of us see it as a $100+ roadblock keeping us from getting a XBone.


Kinect isn't costing MS anywhere near $100 though, it's just assumed that's what's driving the price up that much.

I am sure it doesn't cost them anything near that either. Even so, if they had a sku without it, how much would you expect it to cost?

 

I would see a Kinect-less XBone needing to cost $400. 

 

I like that price.

Yeah it'd need to be $400, but they'd be making a bigger loss on it and I think they're being money minded atm. I would love to know what they're making/losing on the Xbox One.

We'll see. She was in charge of Windows 8 and that didn't turn out very well to the public. I personally like Windows 8, but then again i'm only one person. She needs to prove herself before I could give any accurate opinion.

I don't like the fact that the Xbox division is being broken down into two divisions. Separate leaders requires constant communication, and sometimes egos flare. Should be an interesting next few years.

She's not the one in charge of win8,she's the one in charge of 8.1

Yup, the guy in charge of Windows 8 and all of its controversial decisions was Steven Sinofsky, who stepped down shortly after Windows 8 released.  Of course, keep in mind Sinofsky also spearheaded Windows 7 and that was pretty well-received.
