14 DAY TRIAL // Despite lagging in terms of sales and implementing a small price cut in the UK, Microsoft still has no plans to release an Xbox One bundle without a Kinect peripheral, as it's integral to the whole experience, according to the company.
The Xbox One was released back in November of last year and, even before that, it suffered from bad publicity as opposed to its rival, Sony's PS4.
After sales figures showed an ever-growing gap in terms of sales between the two devices in favor of the PS4, Microsoft has started implementing some emergency measures, such as a Titanfall bundle for worldwide customers and a small price cut in the UK.
Even so, the company still has no plans about a Kinect-less Xbox One that would have an even smaller price.
"[A Kinect-less Xbox One] is not in our plans at all," Xbox UK Marketing Chief Harvey Eagle told Eurogamer. "As we've said from the very beginning, we believe Kinect is an absolutely integral part of the Xbox One experience."
Eagle exemplified his statement by saying that thousands and thousands of game clips have been uploaded by Xbox One owners during their gameplay sessions just by saying "Xbox, record that."
Previous rumors, however, have point towards an upcoming Kinect-less Xbox One bundle soon enough.
