What you'll miss out on without a Kinect 2.0

We have no had the Xbox One on store shelves for a year and Microsoft has had a hard time struggling with profits. The lack of console exclusive games also hurts its sales along with the hefty 500$ price, 100$ more than the Sony PS4. So, when Xbox announced that it would drop the Kinect unit and release the console as is for 400$, I expected a lot more people to be pleased, but that doesn't seem to be the case. On top of that, that leaves a lot of gaming developers who may or may not prioritize the kinect features for their up coming titles. For the games out now, the games that you will not be able to play without a Kinect are, Kinect Sports Rival, Just Dance 2014, Xbox fitness, Zumba Fitness World Play and Fighter Within, There will, without a doubt, more titles coming in the future that non-kinect owners will miss out on as well. A good handful of the games that are currently available on the 360 and Xbox One make use of certain features but will not be un-playable without the Kinect sensor. There is also no price released for purchasing a solo Kinect 2 unit at this time which means it might only be available with a console for awhile. Microsofts decision to include the upgrade to a piece of hardware that was lackluster in performance ultimately hurt their sales. Personally, I strongly prefer having a controller than using my hands to select things on the screen. The technology is great but we're still a few years out from seeing it perfected. The Xbox One console without the Kinect 2.0 will be in stores and on on-line retailers for 400$ on June 9th, 2014.
