In the day yesterday had spread a rumor that she wanted to arrive in 2014 of an Xbox One without Kinect and a smaller hard disk to be able to sell at a reduced price: Microsoft has however rushed to deny the rumor, explaining that the company has no intention of selling the console without the motion sensor. But this needed now for granted, in fact we hadn't believed the initial rumor; We explain why.

The question whether to Kinect for Xbox One has not only to do with the fact that the console they want connected to work, but has strong impact in games developed for the new console: Microsoft is saying all developers " will always be console Kinect, then you can count to 100% on his presence ".

This means that all games developed for Xbox One do not like the current, that control whether Kinect is present or not, but assuming that the sensor is always present, making the features connect always available. If Microsoft someday decides to upgrade the operating system of the console to make it optional, all Kinect game developers that leverage should patch their games by adding the controls on the presence of the sensor and deactivate its functions if this is not present, otherwise there may be errors or malfunctions.

Very unlikely scenario: this is the reason why there is pretty hard to believe a rumor of "opzionalizzazione" of the Kinect. Of course, in theory everything is feasible, but it seems very difficult to achieve. It is more likely that, if Microsoft wants to lower the price of the console, decides to offer bundled games to increase the convenience of the package or that lower the price by keeping the Kinect, and took up the lost earnings. Kinect 2.0 is extremely important and central to the strategies of Microsoft also and especially beyond the gaming area, so probably won't ever see an Xbox One devoid of the sensor.
