I might be biassed but this being done so soon I see as X1 is still having problems being sold. As its 2 fingers to anyone developing for the kinect. Plus whose going to want to bother to do the extra handwork to add kinectablility (if thats a word) It just highlights how out of touch M$ has been. Perhaps Phil can turn it round he did work for Sony so hopefully some of their magichas rubbed off 😉

Me to, I would have thought they would have waited until 2015 at least but I guess Phil felt different and did the right thing.

True and slimming down to concentrate on areas which are still profitable for them makes them much more able to change adapt and be more attacking. As a company becomes bigger it becomes risk averse, slow to innovate and stagnate. Look at Apple, have they truly done anything new and amazing in last few years???? The fact is there are still X1s in huge piles and I dont believe price is the only reason for this.
So Kinect finally been removed, sooner than I thought it would tbh.

For sure they are doing all the right things and cutting the fat. Just atm they are taking heavy losses due to stiff competition in all of there other divisions.

Sony can’t afford to do that, considering they’re already laid off thousands of employees, sold their PC division, spun off their TV division and are projecting a $1.3B. loss this year.

And selling off buildings and unprofitable devions means, the cash balance will come back sooner. Also with ps4 a very strong product globally it won’t have problems with people wanting to work with them

Brilliant, wish I could be bothered to do the work, for such a concise view point!

Btw you put a lot of words in my mouth and post things I haven’t said. My hole argument is all about the xone not being nearly as bad as you make it out to be. PS4 is great and you should go enjoy it and not obsess over something that you don’t own and will never own and have no interest in other then hateing on it.
