They should make the Kinect edition 499, and the regular one 399. That way, all the pricing controversy MS created is gone.
And then fragments the user base and torpedoes MS intentions for the future and Kinect's place in that future. It won't happen. I think there is a greater chance of MS dropping the disc drive then the Kinect.
Sorry guys but forcing the xb1 to come with Kinect will finally get developers to make good use of it other than weak games as on xb360s version. You separate the Kinect then you end up with crap games again.
You may not like Kinect but there are many households that make good use of it. I would love to see an avengers battle for earth 2 that uses the next Kinect. I bet the experience would be much better.
And please don't start with the loons and Kinect being a spying device. People post their lives on Facebook everyday which reveals a ton more than the Kinect.
Now. With that being said they really need to get close to the PS4 pricing to compete. Especially with the new restrictions.
My 2 pennies. No trolling please.
Kinect wont cost Microsoft anything like $100. Id be surprised if it added anymore than $20 to the cost of the hardware.

Keith. I understand your point but still believe that something is not forced if its part of the system. Its integrated deeply now so will have to see if It was worth the gamble.
I don't buy that there wasn't enough quality games with the first Kinect for the reason that not enough people had one. I really think the issue was more the quality of the device itself, which was poor. I honestly do not know of any game with a better concept that can appeal to both children and adults well than Kinect Disneyland Adventures (beyond a Disney World-based follow-up). Dragon Ball Z was another one that could have been great for some (though I think that with having that show end 15+ years ago, the timing might not be right). There really were plenty of great CONCEPTS for the first Kinect, but there just wasn't good-enough hardware to support motion gaming, and that's why it ultimately failed, in my opinion. It couldn't handle casual games with its intense lag and tendency to lose where you were, let alone fast-paced titles that are the big-ticket franchises, such as Halo...
just buying a Kinect now costs 50, with all of the new updates in the One version it would be 100..
Uh its used in Dead Rising 3 and Ryse. And you have no idea what DICE or 2K are doing either. 2K13 had Kinect integration for voice.How is the new Kinect implemented in new battlfied4,
How about killer instinct,
How a bout NBA 14,
How about the new halo,
No need for Kinect these were new realeses new Xbox one releases and none of theses games not one uses Kinect so why do I need one.... I don't , dice knew us battlefield players wont need the Kinect so no implementation same for cod ,killer instinct a so on
So my question to all is if they sold the Kinect separately would they sell? I say not well

Imagine skyping a family member or friend and it comes up on screen, sorry your friend is unavailable because their Kinect is unplugged.
I love the idea of it always being there.
