Industry analyst Michael Pakter believes that Microsoft will stop releasing Xbox One only with Kinect next year, which should lead to lower prices.
During a speech in his weekly show BonusRound, Michael says that Kinect - is the favorite child of Don Mattrick, but in connection with the departure of manager in Zynga, which means that no one will advocate for sale Xbox One with Kinect.
"I am confident that they will cease to produce console with Kinect. Not in 2014. They will not so much change the SKU in just one year. This moment is expected in 2015."
"That's how they presented 4GB model XBOX 360 a few years later, they do something similar with the current that may look simplistic. I think they will take the standard model and equip its 2TB hard drive, and the most basic model will now be have 500GB, but without the Kinect and is priced at $ 400. "
That Kinect is the main reason that the console is $ 100 more than its main competitor - PS4, which according to recent data bypasses XBOX One in sales. And, according to Pakter in the future compete with the PS4 will be even more difficult.
"The problem is that in the spring of '15, they managed to reduce the price to $ 400, while Sony cut to $ 350. Sony is in a very comfortable position, where they can stay ahead. Something similar happened with the PS2 - they just continued to reduce rates . "
