Blah blah, another Kinect complaint topic. These should be auto-modded along with paying for XBLA Gold and having ads on the dashboard.

This board would become as quiet as the shmups board if that happened.

...I bet most of you didn't even know there was a shmups board T_T

Who remembers playing the NES and seeing; "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another DLC"?

Food for thought, though, why would they include it in when they can release it separately and charge people for it?

They need to be competitive with console pricing, thus, including an expensive piece of technology would be foolish.


Because if Kinect has a 1:1 install base with the next Xbox it will see more support?

Peripherals don't have a great track record...

You know you can use Kinect and a controller. ME3 did it perfectly.

There is no confirmation from Microsoft.


Except that it seems to be the only commonality among all the supposed leaked specs.


Was going to rebut, but I agree, from every single rumour, built-in kinect has been mentioned for over a year now.

Now combine all those links with this one . . .

That's why kinect is being forced next gen, to sell you content based on the number of people in the room at the time.

I don't remember ever being forced to use Kinect unless .. I wanted to play a Kinect game.
