What's next a Mario game?
Am I wrong or is this rumor just removing the KINECT MUST BE PLUGGED IN requirement and nothing else? Why are people talking about pricing and skus?

Did they have a legitimate chance of "dominating the living room" to begin with? With no used/traded/loaned games allowed? With a steeper price tag than the competition with superior specs?
Not happening or they're going to screw the devs who built kinect features like Fantasia.
Why are MS doing all the sensible things now, when they knew even before Xbone was announced that people wouldn't like it?

Yes indeedy. Great gif. Either way, this is still just a rumour, right? As in, not confirmed?pretty sure this is still the most relevant response
Me too. Sorry, MS, but the damage has been done - the trust is gone. Who's to say they won't attempt this shit again in a couple of years with a new XBone-S model? MS are liars and scoundrels, always have been. The only reason I still have a 360 is Bayonetta and shmups, fuck Live Gold.I, however, think I'm sitting out til late in next-gen for the Xbox One. Not sure how late but I'm definitely waiting a price drop or two, maybe til the end of the gen when I'm sure nothing will be re-implemented.
Especially for game developers making games with Kinect in mind. I don't think enough people are focusing on what this shit in past few days means for developers. THAT is where confidence towards Microsoft is the most shaken. Who the Hell would want to develop for such a haphazard mess of a console and company?People are hoping they are hoping to remove Kinect next, which would be the dumbest thing they could do.
Its funny how this instills confidence in game console buyers...a company shreds their business model and alters their software in the run up to launch and it makes people feel better about a company??
Sounds like Kinect will be bundled in still (which is the right move IMO) but they are going to let you unplug it to stop fears of syping/privacy breaches.
If true, bravo MS, bravo.

lol, they're backing down on everything they wanted out of this stupid console.

It would royally fuck devs right now if they removed it from the box. People have likely been making their games under the assumption they have, at the very least, voice commands at their disposal.
Having a "your experience will be completely gimped if you buy this model" sticker on the box probably won't fly. Now, if someone wants to opt-in and knowingly gimp their own personal experience, that's fine.
bish do something you have to stop the madness in here!
this if true is going to slowly revert back to people saying ps4 is more powerful and hence it's going to be like this generation where the ps3 is more powerful but almost everyone bought an xbox
lol some interesting stuff going on

Because a lot of us are hoping it's a sign that MS has seen some sense and will release a Kinect-less SKU at or less then PS4.
So a complete reversal on the whole Xbox One campaign?

Scrap the whole project, put 8GB GDDR5 RAM in it, include a headset and call it an Xbox 720, and have someone with some artistic talent design the console exterior

We had a few years now to see what Kinect was all about. It was complete trash.
The only genres it did anything remotely for was mini-game trash and dance party games, and those had their day in the sun already (as if we needed more shallow, emptyminded garbage in the industry). Virtually every other genre is ruined by the product, because without tactile feedback and the efficiency and reliability of a button press, the vast majority of game experiences are inferior. That's just the way it is, and that's something that can never be improved with Kinect technology given what it is. By its nature it removes tactile feedback, and thus relegates itself to the realm of paltry, forgettable gimmicks more appealing to ADHD set who constantly needs "TEH INNOVATIONS" regardless of whether those innovations are any good or not to stay interested than to hardcore gamers who actually care about things like responsive and reliable controls.
In the YEARS we've had Kinect out, there has hardly been a single new idea brought to the table, a single genre outside of those two I mentioned improved in any appreciable way.
What's left with Kinect now is a heartbeat sensor (oh boy I can't wait for what crap devs are going to do with this *roll eyes*) and the microphone, the ladder of which could have been done with a simple headset or microphone built into the console and thus removing the need for a $100 increase in price for a gaming device that is worthless for most gaming applications.
Vocal minority and so...

It's not a long leap from "never required" to "not included in the box" in my opinion.
Buy a PS4.
