So, it looks like Back to the Future 2 predictions may come to pass after all. It is just going to take a little longer than 2015 though.

Interesting stuff. Here is a source for Wizard220's news:

Man I cant understand the hate towards kinect. Yes the xbox one is expensive and I am not buying one, I am going for the ps4. I never deny the fact that kinect is one hell of a technology, specially the second gen coming with xbox one. Yes it turns on your system, but it does much much more.
I don't think it is the hate for the kinect device itself, but more that you can't buy a Xbox One without it. Bundling the Kinect with the Xbox One is what makes it more expensive.
With PS4 pre-orders dominating the Xbox One, Microsoft will pretty much have no choice but to offer a cheaper, Kinect-less version of the Xbox one if they want to generate more sales.
It's shocking to think how far the xbox has come. Even if you just look at the first 360 and it's UI to now, it's remarkable.
If you told someone to go back to just the release day UI, they would be very put off. To say that in a few years that we wouldn't take voice/recognition for granted seems very naive.
I know people want just two buttons and a d-pad for a controller, and to blow in cartridges, but the tech world evolves.
I probably won't use the Kinect for any gaming (unless a killer game is released).
The irony with that last statement (about the "blow in cartridges" thing) is that due to how cheap memory is nowadays, cartridges would be better than any optical medium. Almost zero access-times, tons of storage, way more durable than discs, more able to curb piracy (at least for a little while )... Yeah - I wouldn't mind going back to blowing in cartridges.
