Microsoft: 'no plans to release Xbox One without Kinect'
Yesterday, Inside Gaming Daily claimed the company would release an Xbox One sans the 3D camera next summer.
Citing an anonymous source supposedly familiar with the matter, it said: "This contradicts Microsoft's repeated implication that the Xbox One won't function without a Kinect attached, but it's sounding more and more like that's a bit of PR smoke just to get the Kinect in people's homes,"
But in a statement sent to Kotaku, a Microsoft spokesperson said: "We have no plans to introduce an Xbox One without Kinect. We believe in Kinect and the value it brings to both games and entertainment, and believe $499 is a great value for what consumers receive with their Xbox One."
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November.
The platform holder revealed its next-gen Kinect sensor at E3, when it said: "Its unparalleled vision, motion and voice technology let you reach into games and entertainment like never before by dramatically expanding its field of view and fidelity. It works in nearly any lighting condition, recognizes precise motion control from a slight wrist rotation, and distinguishes your voice even in a noisy room using advanced noise isolation."

FYI I don't mind I'll just have it facing the wall
Haha I won't even plug mine in unless you have to. I though I heard you had to have it plugged in for your Xbox to work. So hope it doesn't break!

Rouchelle I still think that the 500$ for the console + kinect is not a bad price.
Sure it's not a bad price but we shouldn't be required to get the kinect. Not everyone will actually use it and it'll be a waste of money for them

Gmlukens There would be no way to sell it if they didnt
True. Not many people like the idea of having a kinect for the Xbox One.. it's likely included in order to change their opinions

I don't think it is a bad price either. As long as the kinect isn't ****, which I don't think it will be. :)
Microsoft would of improved it greatly based on customer complaints. If they didn't then it will be a sham

GinoBANGZ Whats the point of putting them in a bundle if people ain't gonna use it anyways?
It Has To Be On When The Console Is On Or It Wont Work At All. Mainly Because Of Voice Commands.
