PlayStation 4 - November 15, 2013

But you're not actually being forced into anything. If you don't want the Kinect, don't buy the Xbox. Every consumer has the ability to make the choice for themselves. Do I want the Kinect? Is it worth the extra $100? That decision rests upon the individual consumer, but Microsoft is in no way forcing someone to buy the Xbox. Now if they required the thing to work and DIDN'T bundle it, then I could see the point, but as it is now, I don't see anything wrong with what Microsoft is doing. It's required for the Xbox to work so every Xbox will ship with one. It's pretty logical to me.

That's the thing I'd actually consider purchasing one if I wasn't being charged extra for something I didn't want or need.

Sure I don't have to buy it, but there went any interest I had in buying it. I love eventually owning dual systems. I've owned them all ever since I got into gaming with my Atari.

So by bundling the Kinect and as it appears charging more due to that. I feel since I did want to own a One console that I personally would be "forced" into getting something I don't want. Forced may not be the correct word. But what else do you call it when there is no other alternative to purchase a One console without the bundle?

And I can safely say that I would NEVER use the Kinect

If someone was already going to buy a One then it's "oh well fine with me"

But if your on the fence or were thinking about it..."what? it's more because of the Kinect?"...I'll just get a PS3 then for cheaper.
