One of the juiciest rumors circling around is that Microsoft will introduce a Xbox One bundle without Kinect later this year, presumably at a lower price point than $500. But new comments from Microsoft United Kingdom marketing director Harvey Eagle make that possibility sound pretty far-fetched.
"We're in it for the long haul," Eagle told the BBC today following the announcement of £30/$50 Xbox One price cut in the UK. "Kinect is absolutely integral to Xbox One."
Speaking with GameSpot earlier today, Eagle did not name-drop Kinect specifically, but said the complete Xbox One package--comprising the console and Kinect--is something Microsoft is committed to.

Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
Whether it's entering a zen state during DPS or the rush of dopamine on its completion, Destiny 2's Raids excels in multiplayer teamwork.
Microsoft backing off their DRM was a 'not very likely' scenario too and we all know that worked out.
Microsoft has sold the idea of a all in 1 media hub to its board of directors . The same board of directors that want to sell the xbox brand. If Microsoft remove kinect then m$ admit it's was wrong about the overall design of x1. It's much better for Microsoft to lower x1 40-60 and bundled it with free software.
Seriously most people don't want, and even if they get it there never going to use it. For the best of your fans make an Kinectless Xbone for lower price of $300.00. Make the Kinect an option, not force on If people want it they will get it on there own free will not because of forced marketing!
Disk tray removed is more likely than Kinect been removed. All the work put in to updating the current Microsoft OS would suddenly become irrelevant if you removed it.
Its not going to happen, lot of x box users like the Kinect it is a HD camera and you can move around the dashboard using it. So get real its not going anywhere.
Don't care how unpopular the sentiment is...please don't remove the Kinect. Stick it out...
