They will drop Kinect only if sales don't go as expected.

or maybe just maybe he was talking about video chat for Skype ???? I actually never used Skype without video ever.... and I have been using it for years on weekly if not daily basis...

Now I'll take that bet here, the gap between XB1 and PS4 will never be as wide as the gap between PS3 and XB360 has been this gen....

and I take a second bet here you won't see a Kinect less SKU ever.... even with bad sales... they will cut the price and keep the Kinect in cause they don't make their money on consoles sales anyway.... they just limit initial loss with it.... when you see how much the RRoD cost them last gen they could easily take a 100 bucks extra loss on the console for less than the RRoD cost them.....
