Absolutely amazing considering people seriously thought the Kinect cost almost as much to make as the Xbox One itself.

I have never seen anyone making this claim. In fact it was revealed a long time ago that production cost for Kinect is around $75.

I've seen numerous people acting like this was a given fact.


Well, it should give you a good indication about how much profit MS is making on each XBO sold. xD

I already knew Microsoft was evil.  They are making $1000's per XBO sold. Don't think about it, it doesn't have to make sense!



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Of course not! They only make 10 cents per unit sold!!!

how about some kinect 2.0 games now? that would be nice =/



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

The last kinect at least had games this one has nothing. If I get a one in a few years the kinect will not be on my list for things I want for it.

It has a few.  Sports Rivals, Xbox Fitness, Zumba, Just Dance and Fighthers WIthin.  Harmonix announced a new Dance Central game.  Thought we would see more voice commands compliment games like use Standard Controllers.  I really like voice commands.  They are fast and easy and work most of the time.  On the other hand, hand gestures kind of suck.

such price tag will make people feel that buying XB1 bundle with Kinect is so worth it huh...

I don't know if this is greed or a clever trick to make people buy the bundle.

This, anything that was predicted is not news and should be ignored.
