you can't put a price on sparks
You would be daft to not believe they have something like this ready in case kinect 2 fails this year
More likely it will than won't

Why would MS do this though? Wouldn't it make sense to try to please everyone at launch to get a head start? I mean, if they can do this, why wait? Then again the yield issues might mean they can't even make hardly enough of one SKU at the moment.
Don't believe it. Kinect is an integral part of the system, including an OS that was designed around it.

As others have said, seems extremely unlikely.
I could see a Kinectless SKU being at least feasible but another with a smaller HDD? 500 GB seems pretty bare bones considering their push for digital, in addition to the rampant amounts of DLC we see now. I can't imagine going into next generation with a smaller HDD than 500 GB.
Are yield issues for certain at this point? Not trying to derail the thread by any means but this article posted today seems to suggest that the Xbox One could actually outship the PS4.

Mr Sebastian has made some pretty hilarious claims in the past, so much so that a thread about the link you posted was already locked today.
Has a competing console ever deterred from its original design because it was negatively received pre launch?Finally giving people what they want: an Xbox 360 II.

More reason to not buy one at launch.
If the box doesn't sell at $500 they're not gonna have a choice.I think they've invested too much into Kinect to let it become a side accessory.

Seems like a huge move. Sending mix messages. Drm, no drm. All kinect or optional kinect.
If it did happen, all the public would see is two XBone skus. One with Kinect, one without. There is absolutely nothing to be confused about. They've had like 10(or however many) over the course of the 360.Has a competing console ever deterred from its original design because it was negatively received pre launch?

If they were even open to this they would have a Kinect free one at launch at a cheaper price to step on PS4's cheaper price point.

2. There is no guide button on the Controller. Kinect is how you interface with the Xbone's OS's
Xbox one: Back-pedal edition. "Hop on"
