Xbox One bundles to release in summer 2014 without Kinect – report

4.5
Xbox One bundles will be made available in summer 2014 without Kinect, according to an anonymous course speaking with Machinima’s Inside Gaming.

The source told the site there will be two bundles made available: a standard bundle without Kinect, and a budget version containing an Xbox One with a smaller hard drive to undercut the price of PS4.

Inside Gaming notes, rightly, that such a report contradicts Microsoft’s assertion that the console won’t function without Kinect installed. If it will work without the camera, this means the launch bundles are a ploy to get Kinect in the homes of early adopters.

Xbox One will release this November at a price point of around $500 – give or take depending on retailer.

they have based this console around kinect so i doubt MS are going to get rid of the kinect.

Ted- I doubt Microsoft will get rid of the "Kinect Always Needed" option aswell.


Exactly, i don't see this happening

Personally I could see them doing this, they want as many sales as possible and with people complaining about the price this is the most obvious way of cutting it. Hopefully they make the Kinect optional, then I can consider selling it if I don't use it.

Highly doubt this is true, like it says in the article it would just be way to contradictory.

Big news, this must mean that Kinect isn't required, it's just that they WANT people to have it as nearly every game will support it.
