10 Biggest Xbox Fails Microsoft Wants You To Forget
7. Xbox One Price/Bundled Kinect
When Microsoft announced that it was selling every single Xbox One console with a Kinect included, you could almost laugh it off as a perverse joke. Not only did this raise the price of the Xbox One to $100 more than the PS4, but there was a good chance that you already owned the damn thing and would now have to buy it again. The Kinect was pretty much the bogeyman of the Xbox One, with its all-seeing eye and all-hearing mic looming over the console like some spectre scaring everyone away from buying the console. It could be a bedtime tale told by Sony to people considering buying the Xbox One ; "Don't buy the Xbox One, otherwise the Kinect will rip you off and watch you while you sleep". Thankfully, Microsoft seems to be getting over its severe case of brainfart and has recently unbundled the Kinect from the Xbox One. But is it too little, too late to turn the tide in this console war?
