No, I do not see why any early adopter would be pissed. Its the reason you are a early adopter. For people that purchased a X1, with the knowledge that sales were not that great, why would you be pissed. If you did not have the patience to wait then the only only person to be pissed at is yourself. Reason I have not bought a X1 or PS4 is because I can easily wait. Nothing screams purchase me now from any of those consoles. I personally will wait until Christmas when the deals come out because neither system has anything coming until that time which would make me drop 400-500 bones for the pleasure of a incomplete system. |
Some people would have bought X1 for titanfall, forza, Ryse etc. they might not necessarily have wanted the Kinect and wanted to pay the additional cost. But they didnt have a choice. And yes ofcourse they could have waited but that doesnt mean that some will be pissed.
This is common knowledge to me.
Also, people are early adopters for their own reasons. Hardcore gamers who are die hard Xbox fans, and have no interest in Kinect could possibly be feeling pissed. To say that you cant see a reason why anyone would be pissed is silly.

How exactly are they arrogant? There's still stong demand for the PS4 in most parts of the world, so no need for Sony to drop the price if people are happy paying for it. Microsoft are having a harder time selling Xbox Ones, hence price drops and introduction of a new SKU, minus Kinect. |
It's a bit arrogant, they could have responded better. Like congratulating MS for coming to the same conclusion on pricing as Sony and the gameing community did almost a year ago.
$499 was insane to bigin with, and althought I think it's a great move I would have cut the price and kept Kinect in the box. I can't see Xbox without Kinect, Xbox is Kinect at this point.

Doesnt your comment go both ways though?
How do you gauge what the overall opinion is of Kinect's inclusion?
| BenVTrigger said: One thing is for sure. Phil Spencer is an absolute beast, and at this rate will have done more good for the Xbox brand than Mattrick did in the entire time he was with the company. Praise Based Spencer. |
Well thats not hard tho is it, Mattrick did nothing but destroy the brand.
Do like phil tho. :)
Games will be the deciding factor, exclusive ones. As yet, that hasn't been enough to get any victories for MS even with net pricing that is lower than PS4 (eg : XB1 @ $449 w/Titanfall = $390 console, free kinect, $60 game).
E3 should be interesting. I have a sneaking feeling that Microsoft doesn't have any surprises ready for 2014, but 2015 could start heating up. Whereas Sony played it pretty tight last E3.

I dont see the point in doing something like that. MS seemed pretty dedicated to Kinect. There was good reason to believe that they wouldnt have dropped Kinect.
And on the flip side of that, there was also good motivation as to why they should drop it.
I dont see either opinion as being unreasonable.
I love my X1 with Kinect if you feel like you got cheated then cry me a river. Sorry but it's the truth if $100 difference wasn't a big deal when you bought the console why is it a big deal now?
