Would no kinect at 399 be enough to make you buy the xbox one

I know the question has been asked multiple times but I didnt see a poll and I think this is the best way to get better results cause people dont like replying a lot of the time. At this point I still want to get the Xbox one but with it looking like no one else I know wanting to buy the one it makes me not want to buy it. So even though I think the kinect is worth the extra money I wanted to know would removing the kinect and a lower price really improve sales? this is for the people who are not buying the one as it is currently configured .

I'm getting one regardless, so I won't vote in your poll because it really doesn't apply to me.

I will say, however, that, if Microsoft were to offer 2 SKUs: $400w/o Kincet and the current $500w/Kinect SKU, I would stick with the $500w/Kinect SKU.

I'm willing to give Microsoft a shot at proving why this thing can make gaming/entertainment better.  I have my reservations on the matter, but I will give them the opportunity because I do have some thoughts on how it could, maybe, add something to games/entertainment.

If anything, I would like them to remove the mandatory connection between Xbox One and Kinect in the event I find no use for it.  It's not a big deal if they don't, though, because if I don't like it I'll simply turn it towards the wall and cover it up.

No

No.

I had already decided to go with Sony for the next generation since I have never owned a Sony console (besides PSP) and I wanted to give them a chance. I also feel like Sony had a better line up of exclusives this gen so I hope they keep that up next gen as well.

Yes, definitely. It'd make a huge difference for me. 

no, I'm going PS4, still doubtful about X1 even without its new policy.Mickeyminime

Voted no because I wanted Kinect included as standard. Lack of Kinect is actually a turn off.magicalclick

Exactly

Don't know why some morons would want an Xbox One without all it's features thereby making a split in it's base and making it a less effective console overall.

The kinect is one of the main things setting this console apart from the competition its a mistake to wish it wasnt included. If you watch some of the tech demo's its a really interesting piece of technology and I think there is real scope for it to greatly improve or at least enhance the way we play our games.

yes.

if microsoft offers an xbox one without kinect 2.0 for $399 and no future AAA epic titles require a kinect 2.0 i'll buy one for sure. 

kinect 2.0 is the one thing out of all the things that i dislike the most about xbox one. if they get rid of it i'll love xbox one.

the focus of the xbox one is clearly to be a multimedia device, and not a videogame console. i prefer my consoles to be consoles... so no, no price drop or feature removal would be enough to buy the thing. Also:

This for me as well. I have pre-ordered the console knowing that while I don't really find the kinect useful on the current gen,  maybe next gen having 100% adoption rate will change all that. If not, oh well I guess my kids have something else to play around with.

Yes. Even though there's little difference in the two consoles it all boils down to exclusive titles. That's what makes a great game market.

No Kinect for 100 less would be nice. But is the Xbox 1 gonna flaws like the 360? Red ring of death and disc drive problems? I'm at my 8th or 9th 360 now. Most of my friends have also gone through many systems. I'm gonna sit back and wait a couple months after it's launched to see how it does. If no system breaking problems happen then no Kinect for 100 less sounds good to me.

That's the sort of unyielding loyalty that makes Microsoft think they can force what we don't want down our throats. Eight or nine 360's? Are you stupid? I've have the same system for four years now and I refuse to buy another one if it goes to hell. There's no way I would keep paying that much money several times over because they're systems are broken before they're even ready. **** that! I'm sorry friend, but I must call you and your friends pretty damn dumb.

I probably wouldn't buy a One without Kinect. It would be the same as a 360.Lazuliv

100$ cheaper without an accessory I don't even want. This absolutely would drive me to buy the new box. 

console is way too expensive

I'd be more comfortable with a no kinect Xbox 1. I'd buy the Kinect version, but the ability to turn it off or disconnect it would be a necessity for me. I'd still need to see Mercenaries 3 before I'd buy in, though.El_Zo1212o
