Microsoft is making some changes to their gaming systems, both price and service-wise. Starting June 9th, Microsoft will offer the Xbox One for $399, but the cheaper console does not include the Kinect motion/voice control add-on. Though Microsoft is offering a Kinect-free device, they said \Kinect remains an important part of our vision.\ They also found that 80 percent of their players already use Kinect actively, averaging 120 voice commands per month per player. So they will continue to sell the more expensive version of Xbox One with the Kinect bundle, there have not been any plans to discontinue the product.
