goddammit I bought one with Kinect a month ago. fuuuuuuuu

 

[GulAtiCa]

I really hope this is true.

 

[Backfoggen]

MS wants more sales.

 

[Vashetti]

Before E3?!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Well damn, when Phil said to expect lots of news before E3 he fucking meant it huh!

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I disagree that this is a good announcement to save for E3. E3 is about pumping your chest and saying how amazing you are to the world, not a place to admit mistakes and chop your product apart.

 

[Majine]

Thanks for cancelling the future, assholes. You happy?

Spoiler

 

[jbug617]

Don't believe he actually did it.

 

[Symax]

I'm glad they are not waiting for E3 to announce this decision.

 

[Salex_]

Downgraded to a peripheral, such a shame.

It's not like there's more than 2 upcoming Kinect games...

 

[Freeman]

What? Why now? Are they that scared of what Sony will bring to E3?

 

[Santiako]

WAIT WHAT

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Man, this has to be one of gaming's biggest backpedals. I'd love to see it be true.

 

[Into]

Please make it so!

 

[cuzintheboss]

Not at E3 what...

Focus on games at e3.

 

[MattyG]

Just in time, because I decided to buy one after seeing that Sunset Overdrive gameplay.

 

[Drago]

Please come out in white!

 

[Gartooth]

Downgraded to a peripheral, such a shame.

Unless they're forced to, (Rare) I never see/saw any developers embracing Kinect aside from throwaway dance/party games.

 

[giancarlo123x]

If it makes the console way cheaper before I grab one for halo 2 anniversary then by all means.

 

[Tsundere]

$250 or bust.

 

[Regiruler]

Don't know if happening.

 

[VE3TRO]

Oh snap.

 

[bidguy]

goddammit I bought one with Kinect a month ago. fuuuuuuuu

dont worry. im sure one of those fellas without kinect will want one

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I'll be surprised because I really thought they wanted to ensure maximum reach with the device, but I'll also be impressed as hell that they're going all the way to get those sales up. Sounds like second place MS is the best MS.

 

[McHuj]

Wat?

 

[R3TRO]

The fuck...

 

[Betta Lines]

I'm so happy I might buy the Kinect-less One and a Kinect separately!

 

[pswii60]

2000 page thread(s) incoming!!

Next, Wii U without the GamePad

Microsoft does what Nintendon't.

 

[pickle tooth]

If true then good!

 

[Little Old Man]

 

[hawk2025]

I fear for April's NPD.


It has to be done. 10 minutes to go.

$399? Or will they go all the way down to $349?

 

[Jack cw]

Sales must have been terrible. Well, if 349 EUR, then call me interested.

 

[dmr87]

Oh boy, some action today.

 

[everyday math]

Sayyyy whaaaattt?

 

[Agnostic]

Day 1

 

[Human_me]

Most likely will sell for £329 here in the UK, Just to undercut the PS4.

 

[AusRoachman]

Hope this means so don't stop improving kinect functionality for those who do have one. Still waiting for my xbox on command Microsoft.

 

[Killzig]

Death of Kinect? Good riddance.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

And Microsoft said it would never happen.

Fixed

 

[Oxymoron]

Cboat~~~~

 

[Insane Metal]

Totally expected... but not before E3... heheh

 

[Griss]

As for 'announce this at E3'... Why?

This is a 'We're getting our butts kicked, and we're dropping the USP we were using to try to sell the machine' announcement. You do this on a sleepy Tuesday or Friday evening, not on stage.

That's if it happens at all.

 

[badcrumble]

No way. That would mean MS is throwing their long-term vision over board. This is not happening

I'm still hoping Apple buys the Kinect tech/patents.

 

[Crawl]

Sony must have slaughtered April NPD

 

[TheHall]

Sony to counter by including their camera with no additional cost.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Last months sales must have truly been depressing then if they are announcing it now.

 

[BigEvilTurtle]

DAY ONE BABY.

 

[Parablank]

wow that was quick.

why no E3 announcement though? Just seems like a better place.

 

[Nozem]

Sweet! Less than €400 plz.

 

[Dega]

Gonna be a lot of gaffers with new systems then.


Supposedly. lol
