It is still not working

Yes

Im not comparing the devices, I am comparing the gesture. Both could simply have charged for the ability to use their respected cameras on newer systems... but they did not. That is a pro consumer move on their part.

@NEXUS-6 Correct its the unsupported peripheral from Microsoft, which shows its an even better gesture from because kinect was a flop and that freebie was never going to directly translate into future $$$ for them. Just chill mate, obviously you missed what the comparison was because you've got your console wars hat pulled over your eyes.

Arthritic - so in all honesty what was the point of it? If its no longer supported, no longer part of their plan - whats the point? People that already have an xbox one already have the paper weight.

Who's buying a kinect off the shelf?

Who's buying an xbox one s and hooking a kinext 2.0 up to it?

They hadn't dropped it yet but regardless... it was still a nice gesture. That is what im saying. Look, if you dont like Xbox that is fine but a pro consumer move is still a good thing no matter who does it.

Having it baked in and forcing Kinect on xbox one owners.

Not consumer friendly.

Taking it away from xbox one s and pushing an adapter (albeit free), leading some to think support was still there.

Not consumer friendly.

Then they drop support altogether.

Not consumer friendly.

You can label me however you want.

But what I find funny and ridiculous at the same time is this notion that ms is 'consumer friendly'.

Nexus, they removed the mandated kinect after much deserved backlash. they could have stuck to their guns but they reversed their decision. That is pro consumer move and it garnered some sales as a result. Their changing the design of the XBO was much needed but as a result they removed the kinect port and offered those with a kinect a free adapter. They could have charged for it (like they did the hard drive transfer cable on the 360) but they did not. That is a pro consumer move as well.

And for the record, i did not label you anything. i said "if you dont like xbox..." that is a statement, not a label. And also for the record MS has been much more consumer friendly as of late so you can hold a grudge against them for being them but most everyone else sees their goodwill and welcomes the changes being made. (Again, a statement, not labeling you)

me either and I chatted with CS and I had to explain to her what the PSVR adapter was. She kept telling me that PS5 VR isn't announced yet lol what a joke. In the end, she referred to me HTTP://psdirect.com/chat and I have yet to figure out how to get someone to chat with
