Kinect no longer required for full functionality of Xbox One

Looks like Microsoft is getting desperate to have good sales at the Xbox One launch >.>

They still will be selling it with the xbox one for 100 dollars more than the ps4 which saddens me greatly

They MIGHT announce a standalone console for $400 perhaps.

Good to know that Microsoft is finally taking their customers seriously.

Though of course it's only because predicted sales went down rather than real concern for customer satisfaction. 

I could care less at this point about getting another console in general. Well actually I take that back. I may get the $300 Wii U with Wind Waker HD coming out next month at some point to prepare for SSB and other Nintendo games.
