Xbox One sales double with Kinect-less option

17 Jul 2014

Microsoft took to Xbox Wire today to assert that Xbox One sales have “more than doubled” since the introduction of the cheaper, Kinect-less Xbox One offering.

Microsoft made the claim based on “internal data” from “retail calendar and sold through numbers”.

The post also showcased Microsoft’s holiday 2015 line up, citing titles like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive and Ori and the Blind Forest.

Are you more likely to buy a cheaper Xbox One without Kinect? Why or why not?
