Xbox One sticking at $499, Kinect still 'core part' of experience
"We really believe deeply in the value that we're delivering. Not just for the first day of launch, which we think is going to be amazing, with amazing games and entertainment experiences, but what this architecture can deliver over the long term." said Whitten. "We feel good about our price."
What about changing the price by removing the Kinect?
"We still absolutely believe in Kinect. It's a core part of the architecture. Frankly, it's really critical that you build it as something that's always there, always part of the platform. So that game creators, experience creators can know they can rely on it. And you, the user, that there's always a consistent experience. That it's not just an accessory."
Consumers aren't the only ones happy with today's changes. Both GameStop and rental service GameFly have applauded Microsoft for today's Xbox One policy shift.

Tend Hopefully they'll make 'fun' games for the kinect.
I remember someone posting on another article that the Kinect will help with certain games. Like Dead Rising 3 if you're too loud in your room and the Kinect picks it up, the zombies will be attracted to that noise.

SwagDaddyYoloShadowBoltDashieWagering I don't like the Kinect, but oh well. :/
Me either but I'm just going to face it against the wall and pretend it doesn't exist.
watch it turn out that the xbox won't work unless it reads your body image lol
Well then I will be forced to leave it out in the open, where it can scan my whole room ._. Plus the way I have my setup it will be weird having a Kinect on it. I have a U desk with everything on it so I don't know how this would work properly if it needs to scan me.
