Kinect no longer required for Xbox One to function

Another reversal for Microsoft, this time with Kinect. Today, they’v confirmed that the Xbox One will not have to have the Kinect sensor connected in order for the new console to function.

IGN got the news via their AMA with Xbox Corporate Vice President Marc Whitten, where he revealed that Xbox One owners will be able to use all of the console’s core functions regardless of whether the new Kinect sensor is connected.

This is the latest reversal in Microsoft’s controversial Xbox One rules – they started by changing their policies on DRMs, then changed their self-publishing rules, and now they’ve changed the Kinect rules.
