Angry reaction of Xbox one adopters

May 14, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

Anger of Microsoft’s Xbox one adopter reached to its maximum height when the figure out the price of the console was slashed by the firm after stripping out major feature. When due to the higher price of console, Sales of the device is flagged in comparison to the Playstation 4.

Previously Microsoft has always been in the lead due to their justification to the cost by pointing to the Kinect 2.0 device of motion sensor, which used to be known as “integral to the Xbox One experience”.

But soon Xbox One’s original strip-down version without the Kinect functionality will be offered by Microsoft. A version that includes the Kinect feature will still remain available in the market. However, some fans fear that Microsoft might not give priorities to the production of the motion sensor features in long run. When Kinect hardware allows user to use Xbox with motion gesture detectors.

Reddit, one gamer on the Xbox One forum said: “This is a slap in the face to early Kinect 2.0 adopters who were sold on the fact that every Xbox One owner would have one.” And another said: “So the Xbox One is on an equal footing in terms of price with the PS4 now, but with weaker hardware and nothing to set itself apart? How is this a good idea?”

One gamer added: “They said over and over that there would never be one without the Kinect. I feel pretty betrayed.”

Originally Xbox launched with a price tag of £430, in UK the price fell down from £399 to £350.
