Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Patcher predicts Microsoft will drop the Kinect camera from the Xbox One bundle in 2015, which would lead to a price drop for the console.<\/p>\n
Patcher gave his prediction during a\u00a0Bonus Round webcast<\/a>, where he said\u00a0former Interactive Entertainment Business president, Don Mattrick\u2019s departure from Microsoft would result in the Kinect being dropped.<\/p>\n “I think the voice command is really cool, but you can use your tablet. The answer is: Don isn\u2019t there anymore. You have a new boss over the Xbox division, who has no skin in the Kinect game, so\u2026 sure they\u2019re gonna unbundle,” said\u00a0Patcher.<\/p>\n Pachter went on to say that the removal of Kinect would allow Microsoft to cut the price of the Xbox One.<\/p>\n “I think they\u2019ll pick the core model and put a 2 TB hard drive in it, and then the dumbed down one will have a 500 GB hard drive, and it\u2019ll have no Kinect, and it\u2019ll be 400 bucks (R4300). That\u2019s the easiest way to do the price cut,” he said.<\/p>\n Can your PC handle Dark Souls 2?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Autistic kids can benefit from video games<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nSource: Dualshockers<\/a><\/h6>\n
