I can see why they wouldn't bother updating them, but why remove them completely? Were they using too many resources or what?

No outrage? I just remember the drop of the OS feature on PS3... The user base of that was probably similar high than that for kinect gesture control.

But everyone uses SACD, everyone! You hear!

What a waste of R&D money.

What a waste of R&D money.

It would be if Kinect was only used in Xbox's.

It has many other uses outside gaming that will keep the tech alive.

"Hey, this time it's better...No really!"

Too much of a pain to test for the OS software developers, probably.

Whenever updating something in the OS, they need to test that nothing else breaks. If they kept the gestures in, they'd have to keep being tested, too. If almost no one's using them, it's not worth the manpower and resources to keep supporting them. This way, UI changes can be made more quickly with fewer resulting bugs.

I bought my Xbox One day 1 and haven't used my Kinect since the first week of release. Just more convenient to use a controller.

Sell it then. Better yet, ship to me for free, I have a friend who needs one, I'll pay for shipping.

I mean if you haven't used it in two years, surely you would be okay with that.

Probably not.
