Kinect is irrelevant: analyst

Gaming industry expert predicts Microsoft will drop the interactive camera next year

That would be great. I loved the idea of the Kinect when it was introduced but since then game developers have shown that they don't know what to do with the technology.

I think that would be a dumb ass move why would they remove the one thing that differentiates itself from the ps4 they would just be a weaker ps4 then.They need the price to drop which means they will have to swallow the costs.

Drop the Kinect?? Lol, nope.

M$ was found selling ad space to the conservative party in the US. Do you really think they will sell the one thing that monitors your day and night to capture data and receive personalized adds as a result? Ads are HUGE money, M$ will definitely operate in the black if they sell that space, which they are.

Yeah agreed, and they have most definitely invested to much into it to drop it now. They may go the PS3 route and sell the console at a loss and try make up the disparity in games sales/microtransactions.
