Come off it. You're the last the person that should be telling me about making assumptions. You, I, and many here have been here for a long time now, and we have both seen and read the coverage as it pertains to the Xbox One and Kinect. The discussion pertains to the "general" assessment of public opinion towards the device and it's association with the console. Of course individuals have differing opinions and levels of interest, but that is not what I was commenting on. You know that, but choose to ignore it in favor of your point.
The personal opinions of the people of the people asking about it is a moot point. The general public made it clear to MS that they wanted the option of not having it, and that they are not interested in it. The media coverage and public opinion reflected this prior to MS's removal of the device. There was next to no coverage, let alone interest, from these people about the future of Kinect or MS's plans for it prior to them removing it from the package. In fact, most dialogue was that of disinterest and disappointment for the device being mandatory. Yet after its removal, suddenly everybody wants to talk about it and what MS plans to do with it. You can call it whatever you want dude, but it's stupid.
