E3 2016: Xbox One S Will Not Have Dedicated Kinect Port

4.4
At the top of Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2016 yesterday, one of the expected announcements was the reveal of the Xbox One S, a smaller, more compact version of Microsoft’s console that will also seem to be eschewing built-in support for the Kinect.

In an update from the Xbox Wire, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox One S will not feature a built-in port for Kinect like the previous iteration of the console, with the company confirming that the port was excluded “to make the Xbox One S as compact as possible.”

The company explained however that Kinect will still be supported on the Xbox One S, with Microsoft to offer Kinect owners a USB adapter that can be obtained for free through their website once the Xbox One S launches this August.

The kinect was great on the original dash and is still super useful, I feel bad for microsoft its an incredible piece of technology but people cant accept the slightest change. Its not necessary since the new dash, good to see them change their plans but still keep it usable.

I don't expect that'll be a big issue, don't know anybody who actually uses the Kinect. People either bought it without Kinect or it's just gathering dust.
