[XB1] Microsoft to launch Kinect-less Xbox One console?

No spin necessary, I whole heartedly believe this is a mistake. I know why they are doing it, but caving to the mouthbreathers who weren't gonna but the bone anyways just makes you look spineless. Stick to your guns or never draw them in the first place.

The gwg and paywall removal is fine, but removing the Kinect is a terrible mistake, six months in and they cave.

You mean like when they were going disc-less, an innovative idea, and Sony retards and "experts" mouthbreathed M$ to this current bastardization?

Didn't they start caving back with the DRM stuff and Major Nelson at E3 last year?

I've only been following the console wars from the periphery, but it seems like MS has been backpedaling forever.

I think a lot of you are missing a lot of the big picture here. Microsoft has been doing some massive things this year and its all starting with the new CEO.

Microsoft over the last 12 months has gone through some retarded changes and its not surprising things like dropping the Kinect happen.
 
Spencer shaking things up and people are loving it. I'd still buy the kinect version 10/10 times because I can't imagine not having one anymore. GwG was bound to get underway shortly, glad it has come. Wondering if they'll try to out-do PS4 by continuing to do two games a month. The paywall for apps....couldn't care less as it means nothing to me or anyone I know.
 
Glad that Gold mandate is gone. I like navigating the video apps with Kinect on 360 , my XBL just expired and I have no plan to re-up it.

Can the old kinect be used in any capacity with the ONE ?

I'll buy one at some point. 399 is more reasonable than 500 and i don't care for the kinect so this is a selling point for me.

Once again, dare I say, FLEXIBILITY! You have myself and Primetime that enjoy our kinect, and someone else who doesn't. :kanye:

Shut up Youk. I love my ps4 and i'm sure i'll love the Bone. Adding fuel to the fire is gonna make me find new people to play with.

I like the flexibility, but after having the system since day one, I can say that I love the kinect. The voice capabilities while I'm using Netflix are great. Worth $100? I guess not, but I won't complain about what I have.

Again I ask, "flexibility"? Do you work for MS? Because that's the same word they used to try to defend this back pedaling in this morning's press release. When this console was announced all you MS "mouth breathers" kept spouting off about how a Kinect in each box was a masterful move because it would force everyone to have one and developers could utilize it to its utmost potential. But now it's pretty obvious third party developers don't give an ounce of fuck about it and MS themselves are supporting it just as well as they did the firs Kinect, which is basically next to nothing. Kinect Sports Rivals? LOL.
So now that they are going back to only having some of their user base owning one all of a sudden you "mouth breathers' think it's great because it provides "FLEXIBILITY". Please GTFO.

MS is not wasting any time with this new initiative. I just fired up the 360 and there is shit everywhere on the main screen. Advertising for the new $399 XBOne and the middle tile is a link to the new 'Xbox Live experience'.

Sorry for enjoying the Kinect. I guess I shouldn't.

Mouthbreather? I don't give a fuck what system you enjoy. If you noticed, the only person I'll groan is you for having a hard-on about talking shit about the Xbox One any chance you get.
 
I'll probably still end up buying the version with the kinect when I stop living with my current roommate (due to him already owning the xbone :oops:) just because I enjoy the voice commands and the ability to use the kinect as a mic in games :shifty:

I didn't read the entire thread yet but my take is that Microsoft always goes the route to make money. They go out of their way to get extra dollars in their pockets and I really don't think they care whose toes they step on in the process.

I don't have the link handy But I read an article the other day were Bill Gates was quoted as saying and of course I paraphrase, if someone were to decide to ditch the Xbox, I would approve it.

what a mess this xbone is turning out to be...
  • Online only to not online
  • Price drops to titanfall included now back to $499
  • kinect required to not required to not included

what did I miss?

Ps4 just sits there watching all smug. :smug:

Lol. Why is this needed in this thread?

Another positive article about the Xbox One and here come the Sony Pony's to come shit on it.

It was expected all along they would price drop. The community asked for a kinect less XB1, they're giving it to them.


I'm with YouK.

I use my voice commands too much to not have one. It wouldn't be the same.
