Xbox One: Still 'no plans' to release without Kinect, says Hryb
The statement arrived via a Reddit Q&A, in which Hryb responded to a question concerning a potential non-Kinect Xbox One bundle, stating: "We have no plans for that. We are 100% all in on Kinect."
Hryb's comments arrive following confirmation this week that Xbox One consoles will no longer require a Kinect sensor to be connected in order to operate, despite earlier plans to make Kinect a mandatory requirement for the new Xbox.
In May Microsoft responded to widespread fears over privacy by confirming the ability to turn Kinect 'completely off' . The firm later assured soon-to-be Xbox One owners that it had 'prioritized your privacy' with the device.
The Kinect backtrack is the latest in a number of high profile policy reversals from Microsoft's Xbox One team, most notable of which was the decision to ditch plans for the console to require an internet connection
Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.

Requirement I honestly don't think it's worth $499..
Neither do i, they're just 'money money money' thats why they are releasing the kinect with it

I will just keep it in the closet or sell it! At least it doesn't have to be plugged in! I am also pretty sure they will change this later on.

No plans to release without Kinect...then I still have no plans on buying one.
I'll wait for gamestop to sell the bundle broken up or I'll buy off some craiglist crackhead to sell one for $200 less than new because he can't afford rent and should've never bought an Xbox one in the first place.

This is the main reason i am getting a ps4 even though through all the console bans i have gotten another one, but Microsoft is to damn greedy. They know they should release a version without kinect, especially if you don't need it to actually use the system now. Half the people don't even want the kinect. This is just another way Microsoft is trying to nickel and dime people for something they no longer need or want.
