I guess the kinect is not essential to the "Xbox experience"

Well June free games for Xbox One will be Halo Spartan Assualt and Max the curse of Brotherhood. So it's reasonable to assume it will be two games a month like 360. 


I know but ps+ had 2 free ps4 games when the ps4 first launched but it has been one game a month since.

 

I imagine it will be 2 games a month but like I said it's not confirmed.

Sorry for being a reasonable person and not jumping on the Xbox Hype Train after this annoucnement.

Fair enough.

This will most likely help quite a bit, but, IMO, it's still $50 too much.

Yeah this. I really think as people know the XBO is not as powerful, I think it has to be £50 cheaper to make a big difference.

Phil doesn't think so now, so as head of Xbox he's changing it

Well you gotta follow the leader. Just about everything they've done ended up in mediocrity compared to what the PS4 has done. So that's good.

 

Shit just got real.

flip flopping like a US politician these days. anyone who has confidence in this company is delusional to the extreme level of religious fundamentalists.

Breaking news: corporate executives toe the corporate line.

For further proof see all the idiocy from Sony regarding rumble last generation.

It is the right decision. I have used the Kinect less than 20 times on my XB1. Using the controller for navigation is way better. It shouldn't be required.

My guess is that MS anticipated some negative reception of the news by a restricted section of their clients (like some early adopters who expressed frustration earlier in the topic) and didn't want to make it an even bigger slap in the face by lowering the price. They should definitely do it a few months after though, 400 is still too much.

I think you need to calm down fella. LMAO.

Ehh... I'd love to see the comment on confidence about other companies. Everyone on the the thread would be banned for reading it.

mandatory =/= integral

stop taking quotes out of context

Anyway i envisioned the following september last year "after holidays 2014 new models/pricecuts( and or removal kinect from package)"

So its a bit sooner then expected.
