Kinect Less Xbox One - Its Going To Happen?

Ever since the console of this generation were released, most of the people have been demanding for a cheaper Xbox One. Even after a few price cuts it wasn't enough. The best thing Microsoft could do was to remove Kinect from their bundle and lower the price down significantly.

Patcher

The analyst, Patcher, says that Kinect is irrelevant and Microsoft needs to offer a cheaper Kinect less package for customers to buy, if they want to compete with Playstation 4 sales. He predicts that this would probably happen somewhere in 2015.

“Kinect was Don Mattrick’s favorite child. He believed in it, he thought it was gonna change the world. He believed it a mechanism to cross sell skype and to cross sell cable access and doing other things.

I think that as Microsoft developed Skype, they recognized how fast smartphones and tablets have been adopted and I think the overlap of Xbox One households and smartphones and tablets households is probably a hundred percent. I think that Kinect has become almost irrelevant.

I think Skype is a really cool app, but FaceTime works. you don’t really need that Skype in your living room… It’s better if everybody is on the couch, but FaceTime works.

I think the voice command is really cool, but you can use your tablet. The answer is: Don isn’t there anymore. You have a new boss over the Xbox division, who has no skin in the Kinect game, so… Sure they’re gonna unbundle. Not in 2014. They will not change the SKU that dramatically in the first full year. It’s a 2015 event.”
