Since the kinect is now off the table for complainers what will the(Y) find next to complain about?

This thread perhaps.

It will jot be removed from the box anytime soon, maybe if they have issues like rrod or something else which causes the systems lifespan to crash then you will see replacement consoles at a cheaper price directly from microsoft but I'm willing to bet they
will make sure you have the kinect from your old console. They have to make up those costs on the kinect r&d and they are most likely manufacturing equal numbers of kinect and ones, even if only a relatively few owners actually use the kinect the still need
to be able to tell game devs and publishers "yes everyone has a kinect, so go ahead and program for it" if you have kinectless sku then games which could possibly need kinect to function would have issues. As long as the devs know that anyone with an xbox
also has a kinect, even if its in their closet somewhere they know that people have it and can go plug it in when needed.

.

I'm sure the only kinectless sku you will find will be on used consoles from gamestop and others.

[quote user="Sipuli91"] I'm hoping there could be a SKU that would satisfy me one day. How does that make a hypocrite?[/quote]

Keep waiting

[/quote]I will. I've got all the time in the world (or at least until the next next gen). Or, you know, maybe when the prices drop a lot I will just get One with Kinect and simply forget the Kinect in the box. Who knows, eh?

Prices are likely to drop quicker by continuing to include kinect. Drop the kinect concept and all that R & D money has to be made up on the console. so cheaper versions will take longer to appear.

First off I had all 3 consoles tested for families.

The winner was always Xbox 360 because of Kinect.

The Wii was good but no one wanted to play it anymore after playing the Kinect.

Playstation…well the eye toy…that was a okay entertainment when he first eye toy came out.

That´s it.

I just talk about my experience and what I prefer.

My family is a Xbox family.

The ones that owned a ps3, changed after playing my 360

I will pick Xbox before playsation no matter what.

Why? Well I can connect better to the Xbox LIVE mentality and Microsoft then to playstation network and Sony.
