Microsoft: Xbox One and Kinect are not separate systems
In an interview with Computer and Video Games, Microsoft Xbox exec Phil Harrison is blunt when it comes to the link between the Xbox One and the Kinect. He stated, "Xbox One is Kinect. They are not separate systems. An Xbox One has chips, it has memory, it has Blu-ray, it has Kinect, it has a controller. These are all part of the platform ecosystem."
Harrison added that he has an Xbox One in his home and claims that the Kinect sensor's features, including being able to launch the Xbox One and load his player profile just by the sensor "seeing" him is a "very magical experience."
In the same interview, Harrison said that they have yet to announce a specific launch date for the Xbox One, beyond just "November 2013", due to "a certain number of marketing reasons." Sony announced this week that the rival PlayStation 4 console will launch in the US on November 15th and in Europe on November 29th. Recently, Microsoft revealed that a number of European countries will have to wait until sometime in 2014 to get a localized version of the Xbox One.
Harrison would not comment on if the North American Xbox One bundle will get a free digital game like the company is offering in Europe with FIFA 14. Microsoft will also make more announcements about its non-gaming media partnerships for the Xbox One at a separate event in the near future, according to Harrison.

I don't want the Kinect at all. It's stupid that they're forcing me to pay for something I don't even need to operate the console.

Lol, fan boy alert!! You probably never touched a PlayStation console in your life, so don't say sh!t unless you've owned both before. I have and I prefer PS3 over Xbox.
It's his opinion why argue? And you're only one person

You can if you get a bundle pack of the xbox one if you really want...
Or if you live in Europe and get Fifa for free.

Making Xbox One and Kinect go hand in hand with each other is a wrong move in my opinion. A lot of people don't want motion gaming plus what can be done on games via Kinect/ PS Move is limited as not many developers have focused on Motion gaming, seems a bit too soon in my opinion.
