Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One Will Still Function If Kinect Isn't Plugged In

J_Allard on 12 August 2013

This is great news for those people worried that their Titanfall sessions were being filmed and sent to Obama, chronicling the human race and beaming the archives up to the planet Fultor in anticipation for the Snarlack invasion.

''It makes gaming better in many ways – from the ability to say “Xbox On” and get right to your personalized homescreen, to the ability to control your TV through voice''

Wait what!? What do any of those functions have to do with gaming?

Or for anyone hoping MS introduce a bundle without kinect for a lower price. Thinking at least $350 since it was stated kinect costs as much as the console. Or am I dreaming figures again.

good news for those who want an X1, M$ can add DRM back whenever they want though so I am still not getting.

Plus, M$ doesn't have as many proven studios as Sony, and they will drop support for the console as soon as its successor is revealed

What a terrible response, especially in a thread of good news.

If they bring it back mid-gen, which makes 0 sense, then they will go through the same backlash and lose out on money. Your talk of optomistic negative hypotheticals just shows how much you are fishing.

Drop support? 360 is turning 8 this year and is confirmed to be at least a 10 year console. It hasn't price dropped since 2008 in NA, now thats longevity......when was the last PS3 price cut?

EDIT: it is missing 3-4 PS3 retail releases which are recently announced

Like I said, 360 is still on the market and games are still coming. You drop support when its discontinued and priced for the bargin bin. I see no such thing with a $399 360 Sku still on the market.

Either way, you post was epic fishing to bring down what is good news.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

The people that are bitching about this are the very ones that have no intention of buying an Xbox One in the first place.
