In a surprise move, Microsoft is planning to release an Xbox One without Kinect on June 9th. The new variant will be priced at $399, a figure that closes the $100 gap between the Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4. Despite early promises to developers and Xbox One owners that Kinect would ship with every console, its clear Microsoft is having to change course and listen to consumers. \We’ve also heard from people they just like to play games with a controller in their hands,\ says Microsoft’s head of Xbox, Phil Spencer.
