Xbox One without Kinect 'flying off the shelves' at GameStop
"They went on sale in GameStop yesterday; these things started to fly off the shelves," senior vice president of merchandising Bob Puzon told GameSpot. "It's a huge win and a huge opportunity for us."
Puzon also noted that the original $499 Xbox One is still "very vibrant" for the retailer.
Microsoft reported in late April that Xbox One shipments totalled five million units. PS4 sales stood at seven million units as of April 6, according to Sony, with both platforms having launched in November 2013.
Microsoft made a number of significant announcements in the run-up to E3. Aside from the Kinect-free Xbox One, Games with Gold launched on the system, while entertainment apps are no longer locked behind an Xbox Live Gold subscription..
The announcements cleared the way for the company to focus on game-related reveals during its E3 press conference on Monday.

Potion They should have done this at launch they would've sold so many more consoles they could have beaten sony.
Yep. They lost a good amount people to Sony when they tried to bundle, and only offered the product in the form of a bundling package.

Mechanize Still overpriced
I mean who wants to pay $400 for a console.
It's still a lot better than $500 though, so I could see more people paying for the Xbox One now.

XavilnfiniteTankAurora Need to save up the money for this. I`ll get $400 by the end of the year though.
really nice it dropped 100 dollars. Its pretty awesome! But I had to pay the full 500 dollars back than
Me too man. Kinect is a good addition to the Xbox, and I'm sure A LOT of people enjoy it, but I hate the fact is was included with every XB1 at the start. Especially when I don't even use it.
i wish they stuck to their guns and kept it with the console. i believe once developers learned in depth what to do with the kinnect the games could have been amazing. but now developers will probably be reluctant to add features other then those in games like Wolfenstien or Bf4

Skreamies If you get it without kinect, then you're silly and paranoid.
Why? I got the XB1 on release date with the Kinect and it's still in the box. It's useless unless you either only play Kinect games, or you're too lazy to use your controller, so you "talk" to your Xbox. I know countless people who don't even touch Kinect.
