According to Bloomberg, the price of the Xbox One has gone up a bit

Analyst Rafi Mohammed said the $ 100 difference between the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 is larger than might have been expected. Although Microsoft has already allowed some issues (24-hour inspection and “protection” of used games) due to strong user pressure, it is possible that this will still be little.

It seems logical to suggest Rafi Mohammed that if the console were to be marketed without Kinect, it could certainly be given cheaper. Xbox One’s chief product manager (Mark Whitten), on the other hand, is adamant on the matter, saying the motion sensor is an integral part of the system.
