Sony declined to bundle PS4 camera in order to best Xbox One price
Sony only informed its retail partners the camera would not be included, but never specified a lower price point in order not to tip off Microsoft before its own reveal, according to the report.
This goes against what various Sony execs have previously said, particularly Shuhei Yoshida.
IGN notes that it may have ‘beaten’ Microsoft by making the camera optional, but it has also diminished consumer adoption of the product, not to mention creating an inconsistent software support.

ExoticWolfsDisortsOasis Kinect v1 = where this PS4 eye toy will be in a year.
They should of made it better/included it with console.
you aound so f.cking stupid it amazes me.
I think you are the stupid on here, can't type what so ever.
OT: I can see why they do this, just so people can go out and buy it if they want it, not get it auto-matically.
But if everyone has it developers are most likely to make better games for it.

ShadowBoltDashieMicroSonyPCAggie I think that Sony did this in order to comply with what people wanted.
I would buy the Xbox if it didnt have the stupid kinect camera.
I think $ony did it because they wanted to sell more consoles and make more money.
@Woobie, I don't think it was a good business move.
Don't see how you think it's not a good business move. The Xbox One is costing more because of the Kinect. So many people don't want the Kinect and I'm one of them. It's just costing more money when I will never use it and it's going to take up space.
Imagine the ways developers could utilize kinect/PS eye if they knew everyone had one.
The kinect can sense your heartbeat. Imagine a horror game where the game can detect how scared you are and so something to make you shit your pants. That's a loudly example because I can't find the original post about an X1 horror game.but yea.
$ony basically said "Forget innovation all these kids want is a PS3 with better graphics."

Mcfcno1 the amount of fanboy's u get on this website is ridiculous, people saying xbox/ps is better that have no idea, not the slightest clue what there talking about,Microsoft didn't change there drm because they were listening to "Feedback" they done it because if they kept drm they would have no chance of competing with sony. do a bit of research before u post your stupid comments.
Which they got from "FEEDBACK" from consumers and pre-order takings.Take your own advice and do some research first.Idiot.
